Dr. Chris Dick joined NVIDIA in 2020, where he is a wireless architect working on the application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to 5G and 6G wireless systems. From 1998 to 2020, he was a Fellow and the DSP Chief Architect at Xilinx.
Over his 30-year career in signal processing and communications, he has delivered silicon and software products for 3G, 4G, and 5G baseband DSP, as well as DOCSIS 3.1 cable access and vector processor architectures. He has conducted research and delivered products for digital front-end (DFE) technology for cellular systems, with a particular emphasis on digital predistortion for power amplifier linearization. Chris has also worked extensively on silicon architectures and compilers for machine learning.
Before moving to Silicon Valley in 1998, he was a tenured academic in Melbourne, Australia, for 13 years. He has authored over 250 publications and holds 90 patents.
In 2018, he was awarded the IEEE Communications Society Award for Advances in Communications for research in the area of full-duplex wireless communication.
