My first name is Eyan [ee-yen]  and my family name is Noronha [noh-roh-nah]. In my native language, Konkani, my first name is pronounced as Yon. I grew up in the vibrant and chaotic city of Mumbai, India.  My Motto is to "Keep moving forward" inspired by the Disney movie Meet the Robinsons.

Currently, I am a Control Systems Engineer at Google.  Although my job title is Control Systems Engineer, there is very little Control Systems theory involved in my day-to-day and my work mostly involves developing machine learning algorithms. My work at Google serves around improving the the compute infrastructure for Google. My ongoing projects involve power optimization, over-subscription of ML chips (kind of like the flight over-booking problem but for GPUs and TPUs), and energy efficiency of data centers. Before Google, I worked as a quantitative researcher at BNP Paribas,  building machine learning algorithms, backtesting, and integrating the algorithms into existing production environments. I also worked on projects requiring expertise in Mixed Integer Optimization and Signal Processing.

I graduated with a Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University specializing in Control Systems Engineering. During my time at Carnegie Mellon, I was researching ways to improve the speed of growing single crystals, for the purpose of making silicon photovoltaic cells cheaper. My research touched on areas of  Elastica Theory, Partial Differential Equations Theory, Cellular Automata, and Control Theory. My Thesis titled "Limitations to high-speed crystal growth based on conservation laws" provides a solution to a 17-year-old unsolved problem of pull speed limitation in the field of crystal growth.

I spend my free time studying  gpu programming and deep learning. I also like Olympic weight-lifting and playing table tennis. During longer time off, I like to travel. I have hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc in Europe, where I had to spend a night inside an abandoned hut after getting lost. I have also completed a 30-day mountaineering course in the Himalayas, covering basic skills in survival, rock craft, snow craft, and ice craft. 

I am open to interesting conversations, so if you would like to have a chat please reach out to me via email.
