Anwar Ghuloum, Ph.D.

Anwar Ghuloum was co-founder and CTO/VP of Engineering of Intensys Corporation, a fabless semiconductor startup building ICs for high-volume, network-attached digital imaging and video products. While at Intensys, Anwar was the inventor of Intensys' Pixel-C image processing compiler, managed the engineering group, and was the hands-on technical lead in architecting systems solutions for a wide range of digital imaging, video, and communications systems.

Prior to starting Intensys, Anwar led the computational drug discovery efforts at MetaXen, LLC (purchased by Exelexis).  At MetaXen, he developed novel learning and 3D object-recognition technologies for predicting potency, oral bioavailabilty, metabolic, toxicity, and pharmacokinetic properties of candidate drug compounds in silico.  Prior to joining MetaXen, Anwar was a research associate at Stanford University, working on the SUIF compiler project.

Anwar holds a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from UCLA and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University.  As a researcher, Anwar’s work focused on parallel computer architectures, language and compiler design, high-performance algorithms, and the usability of high-performance systems. He has published over a dozen papers and patents in the areas of computer architecture, computational drug design, compiler design, communications, and image and video processing. He has also performed detailed technology evaluations for corporations and investors in the areas of consumer electronics, media processing, memory design, and communications.

Anwar is currently a researcher at Intel Labs.
