Rishiyur S. Nikhil is co-founder and CTO of Bluespec, Inc., which develops tools that dramatically improve correctness, productivity, reuse and maintainability in the design, modeling and verification of digital designs (ASICs and FPGAs). Earlier, from 2000 to 2003, he led a team at Sandburst Corp. (later acquired by Broadcom) developing Bluespec technology and contributing to 10Gb/s enterprise network chip models, designs and design tools. From 1991 to 2000 he was a researcher (and, briefly, Acting Director) at Cambridge Research Lab (DEC/Compaq). From 1984 to 1991 he was a professor of Computer Science and Engineering at MIT. He has published widely, and holds several patents in functional programming, dataflow and multithreaded architectures, parallel processing, compiling, and electronic design automation. He is a co-author of the book "Implicit Parallel Programming in pH" (a parallel dialect of Haskell). He is a member of ACM, IEEE, and IFIP WG 2.8 on Functional Programming. His Ph.D. in Computer and Information Sciences is from U. of Pennsylvania, and his B.Tech in EE is from IIT Kanpur.
