# Manu Nicholas Jacob > Hardware engineer at Dell Technologies (enterprise AI server platforms) and > independent researcher on edge machine-learning systems. Austin, Texas. The research thesis: the memory wall, not compute, governs deep-neural-network inference on real hardware. Nine papers, each backed by a public, DOI-archived artifact measured on physical hardware (Raspberry Pi 5 / Arm Cortex-A76, hardware performance counters, on-board power telemetry). ## Pages - [Research](https://manunicholasjacob.com/research): full publication record with statuses, headline results and artifact DOIs - [Projects](https://manunicholasjacob.com/projects): open-source research artifacts, tools and award-winning hardware builds - [Lab](https://manunicholasjacob.com/lab): the measurement bench and the methodology rules - [Writing](https://manunicholasjacob.com/writing): notes on systems engineering and measurement - [About](https://manunicholasjacob.com/about): background, experience, education, patent - [CV](https://manunicholasjacob.com/cv): one-page curriculum vitae - [Now](https://manunicholasjacob.com/now): what is currently in flight ## Identity - GitHub: https://github.com/manunicholasjacob - ORCID: https://orcid.org/0009-0007-6589-6572 - Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=inrrUQIAAAAJ - Email: manunicholasjacob@gmail.com
