Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPedro Almendros is a research-focused computer scientist and engineer blending top-ranked dual degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science with hands-on hardware and FPGA experience. He has led student robotics and electronics initiatives, won national STEM competitions, and built prototypes spanning automated livestock systems to RISC-V microelectronic implementations. Awarded competitive grants and scholarships (including La Caixa) he pursued advanced studies at EPFL and now conducts research on computer architecture, hardware–software co-design, and compute-near-memory for efficient on-device LLM inference. His internships and research roles at imec, EPFL, U. of Illinois, and UCM reflect a trajectory toward real-time hyperspectral imaging accelerators and emerging-memory architectures. Notably, he combines strong theoretical foundations with practical fabrication- and FPGA-level work, making him adept at translating algorithmic needs into custom hardware solutions. Based in Champaign, IL, he is currently expanding this expertise as a PhD researcher and SRC Research Scholar.
