After almost 14 years, I have left ISI to become Chief Technology Officer at Nimbis Services . My new email address is brian.schott@nimbisservices.com. Stop by and say hello!

Brian Schott is a Project Leader at USC Information Sciences Institute in Arlington, VA. He is a member of the Dynamic Systems Division where he performs research in embedded power-aware computing systems, networked sensor systems, and adaptive/reconfigurable computing. He has been at ISI since 1997.

Mr. Schott has particular interest in novel computing architectures, parallel processing, and distributed computing. While at ISI, Mr. Schott has developed a family of FPGA-based computing systems for high performance applications and demonstrated them in several Defense application domains.  Most recently under DARPA funding, his team has developed a modular power-aware microsensor platform that spans a wide operational dynamic power range <1mW to >1W.  

Prior to ISI, Mr. Schott worked at IDA Supercomputing Research Center where he was a staff member on the Splash 2 development team. Splash 2 was an early FPGA-based reconfigurable computer. He helped port one of the first high-level SIMD C compilers (dbC) to an FPGA-based system. Mr. Schott has also worked at the National Security Agency and a small company called Major Educational Resources, which networked Apple-II computers for schools.

Mr. Schott received his BS CS at the University of Maryland (UMBC) in 1995 and his MS CS at George Washington University (GWU) in 2002.
