CARLOS ORTEGA

I am a Research Scientist at IBM Research. At IBM, I work on Brain-inspired Computing Group, and in particular on the SyNAPSE project... Before joining IBM, I was Sr. R&D Engineer at St. Jude Medical-CardioMEMs(acquired by Abbott). CadioMEMS Heart Failure system is part of St. Jude Medical's tools for comprehensive heart failure care. CardioMEMS significantly reduces hospital admissions and improve quality of life of patients with serious heart conditions. I worked on prototype digital MEMs-based sensors to measure blood pressure and cardiac output. For more information, you can read here... At Cornell, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate working in the Asynchronous VLSI Group and Architecture led by Prof Rajit Manohar. My research interests at Cornell were VLSI, low-power clockless chips, security, sensor networks and CAD tools. You can find my CV/resume here. Last Updated: 2014.
