Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Borchers is a Senior Research Scientist with a PhD in Physics and over a decade of experience designing high-performance signal and data processing systems for ultrasonic and radar sensors, currently applying that expertise to missile and air defense at Numerica Corporation. He blends algorithm design, hardware-aware optimization (including GPU acceleration), and object-oriented system integration to unlock precision measurements from sensor arrays and mitigate challenges like multipath interference. At GTRI he won a competitive internal R&D award to build a sensor-agnostic platform that overlays target tracks in commercial AR devices, reflecting a rare combination of sensor physics and emerging augmented-reality applications. Nick’s work is distinguished by pragmatic implementations—such as a 135x GPU speedup for phased-array processing—and a persistent focus on extending human perception beyond visible signals. Based in Fort Collins, CO, he pairs academic rigor with hands-on engineering to turn complex sensing problems into deployable capabilities.
