Bryan Catanzaro

Bryan Catanzaro is vice president of Applied Deep Learning Research at NVIDIA, where he leads a team finding new ways to use AI to improve projects ranging from language understanding to computer graphics and chip design. Bryan's research at NVIDIA led to the creation of CUDNN, and more recently, he helped lead the team that invented DLSS 2.0. Prior to NVIDIA, he worked at Baidu to create next-generation systems for training and deploying end-to-end, deep learning-based speech recognition. Bryan received his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley.
