Renaldas Zioma is a seasoned technology leader with 19 years of experience bridging real-time graphics, game engines, and cutting-edge neuromorphic hardware. He helped bring Unity to iOS, introduced Physically Based Rendering to Unity 5, and built a cross-platform neural network inference engine powering ML in simulation and games. Currently a Topic Leader at the Telluride Neuromorphic Workshop and active in tape-out projects, he pursues a mission of learning from biological systems to design tiny, efficient intelligent devices. He also mentors students in Computational Neuroscience and invests in open-source chip tooling, reflecting a rare blend of hands-on silicon, software, and neuroscience expertise. Notably, his background spans high-performance GPU coding, demo-scene wins, and shipped AAA game technology—skills he applies to compute-in-memory and ternarized NN chips. Based in Sweden, he pairs deep technical craftsmanship with product and organizational leadership across research and industry.
