Dr. Furtek is Rapport’s Principal Software Architect, where he will continue his record of achievement as a groundbreaking innovator of tools for multiprocessor architectures, reconfigurable hardware, massively parallel algorithms and formal methods. Among the first to work on formal verification at MITRE and Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, he went on to found Concurrent Logic (later acquired by Atmel), one of the earliest field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) companies, whose technology was adopted by Apple, National Semiconductor, IBM and others. Later, Dr. Furtek focused on formal modeling and verification for digital design at Interval Research and Applied Combinatorics. He also led pioneering efforts to develop new computing platforms unrivalled in price, performance and power consumption at Interval and then QuickSilver Technology. Dr. Furtek holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, as well as a Ph.D.in computer science, all from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has an extensive publication record along with 22 issued and 3 pending U.S. patents. |
