Dr. Leonard received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Maryland, where he specialized in theoretical and computational fluid dynamics. After graduate school, he interned at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories in Cambridge, MA, where he worked to develop an alternative to a more traditional computational fluid dynamics algorithm. At Rendered.AI, he has accelerated a synthetic aperture radar simulation codebase using CUDA.
