Richard Lee Coulson is an Intel Fellow in the Technology and Manufacturing Group and the Director of I/O Architecture. He is responsible for architecture and performance analysis of emerging I/O devices and interfaces, including storage and storage interfaces, network adapters, and serial interfaces. His group finds and addresses performance bottlenecks and issues related to I/O that could limit the performance or capabilities of the PC platform.
Coulson was born in New York City in 1956. He received his bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from University of Colorado in 1980 and his master's degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford in 1983.
Upon graduation, Coulson was a Development Engineer at Storage Technology Corporation. He became a Senior Engineer at Intel in 1983, was promoted to Staff Engineer in 1987, was transferred to BiiN in a joint venture between Intel and Siemens as I/O engineering Manager in 1988, became I/O Engineering Manager for Sequent Computer Systems Inc. in 1989, and rejoined Intel in 1993 as Manager of the I/O Architecture Group, Platform Architecture Labs.
Coulson was awarded the Intel Achievement Award in May 1986 for the development of a new I/O subsystem, again in 1996 for revolutionizing the I/O capabilities of the Standard High Volume Server, and in 1998 for the Intel Application Launch Accelerator.
