Unlocking the Power of Luminous Computing AI

Mitch Donovan, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Luminous Computing, has spent over two decades in the semiconductor products industry, accumulating extensive experience in design, management, and field applications. With a career spanning 25 years, Donovan has made significant contributions to the development of innovative technologies.

After leaving Motorola to pursue start-ups, Donovan joined Denali where he designed high-performance Design IP DDR Memory Controllers with a small team. At Ambiq, he led the Engineering group as Vice President for product generations, transforming the company from negative margin to a highly profitable business eventually acquired by Cadence.

Donovan's expertise extends beyond his technical background. As a professional jazz musician and leader of the Afrobeat band Sensemaya for over 10 years, he has demonstrated his adaptability and creative problem-solving skills. His work has been cited over 2,700 times, with more than 70 papers and patents to his name.

As he witnessed the growing importance of neural networks in commercial applications, Donovan realized that creating powerful AI supercomputers required building a company dedicated to this mission. His focus shifted towards developing systems of neurons, where he identified communication across dense networks as the primary bottleneck.

This discovery led to the establishment of Neuromorphic Photonics, a field that bridges laser technology and biological spiking neurons. At Princeton, Donovan was a pioneer in establishing a mathematical relationship between these two realms.

With his vision for machine intelligence realized, Mitch Donovan co-founded Luminous Computing and continues to drive innovation as its Chief Technology Officer. His extensive experience, creative problem-solving skills, and commitment to advancing AI technology make him an ideal leader for this cutting-edge company.
