Evgeni Gousev is a Senior Director of Qualcomm AI Research. He leads Qualcomm R&D organization in the Silicon Valley Center and is also responsible for developing ultra low power embedded computing and machine learning platform, including always on machine vision. He is a co-founder of tinyML Foundation (www.tinyML.org), a non-profit organization of 3000+ professionals and 200+ organizations worldwide. The Foundation is focused on supporting and nurturing the fast-growing branch of ultra-low power machine learning technologies and approaches dealing with machine intelligence at the very edge. He currently serves on the Board of Directors. Evgeni joined Qualcomm in 2005 and led Technology R&D in the MEMS Research and Innovation Center commercializing mirasol display technology.
He earned a PhD degree in the solid-state physics and MS in Applied Physics from Moscow Engineering Physics Institute. In 1993, Evgeni joined Rutgers University first as a Postdoctoral Fellow and then as a Research Assistant Professor. While at Rutgers, he performed fundamental research in the area advanced gate dielectric for CMOS devices which, a decade later, became industry wide standards.
In 1997, he was a Visiting Professor with the Center for Nanodevices and Systems, Hiroshima University, Japan. Shortly after, he joined IBM, where he led projects in the field of advanced silicon technologies in Semiconductor Research and Development Center in East Fishkill and T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY.
He has co-edited 26 books and published more than 166 papers (with over 10k citations and h-index of 46: Google Scholar). He is a holder of more than 50 issued and filed patents.
Dr. Gousev is a member of several professional boards, committees, panels, and societies. Noticeably, he was a member of the Governing Council of MEMS and Sensors Industry Group, MSIG (2013-2019) and currently serves on the Governing Council of SEMI FlexTech Alliance.
