Free-lance scientific researcher in applied math
1998-3 – 2003-11
Software engineer, Analogic Corp., Peabody, MA
  • Designed and documented the Vector Math Library for DSP and Image Reconstruction exploiting advantages of the SIMD (single-instruction multiple-data) technology (C and Assembler with SSE and SSE2 extensions on Linux platform );
  • Worked out the most fast (beating Intel’s record) FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) using the technology mentioned in the previous point for the same platform;
  • X-ray tomography;
  • Designed numerical methods, algorithms and software for image processing (C under Linux, UNIX, Sun Sparc station);
