Darren Lyles

Biographical Sketch

Darren is a Hardware Engineer in the Computer Architecture Group (CAG) in the Computational Research Division (CRD) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His current work focuses on the design, testing, verification, and application of superconducting race logic circuits and the design and testing of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools that support superconducting designs.

Darren graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). Prior to joining the laboratory, he worked on the design, verification, and evaluation of various Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) components.

Current Projects

• Superconducting Race Logic Accelerators: Make computation in superconducting circuits, circuits that operate around 4K temperatures and have close to zero resistance, as efficient as possible
• iARPA SuperTools
