Łukasz Ligowski is the engineering manager responsible for the cuFFT and Device Extension libraries. He joined the NVIDIA HPC Math Library team in 2012. Initially, he spent most of the time developing the cuFFT library with a short period of cuDNN/DL work. He transferred to NVIDIA from the University of Warsaw supercomputing centre (ICM). He drove the early adoption of CUDA and used other exotic HW architectures to accelerate scientific applications. He is passionate about extracting the last bits of compute performance from the hardware. In his free time, he likes to enjoy coffee and unicorns.
