Welcome to the Future Future

Hi, I'm Andres Torrubia, and I'm currently a senior studying at Duke. I am from the Mediterranean, Spain. I'm a triple major in ECE, CS, and Math, and I also study physics in my spare time.

I am currently developing and researching what I believe is the future of electromagnetism with my friend Conrad Qu, advised by David R. Smith. The name is PhotonCurl.

My journey started at the age of 16 with a nanodegree in deep learning. From there, I earned a silver medal in a Kaggle competition. I interned twice at Magnific, working on recommender systems and image generation. I built my own AlphaGo clone using deep learning.

Then in college, I made a rasterizer in C, an FPGA ray caster running on my own CPU, a tensor differentiation library, and an attention kernel that runs almost 3x faster than flash attention for small sequence lengths. Then AI solved coding so I decided I wanted to study engineering to solve hardware. I learned how to make circuits, PCBs and CAD stuff. I built a radio, a power supply featuring active PFC and an LLC resonant DC to DC converter, and started the Duke Hacker Fab, where I am building a lithography stepping machine.

This summer I also worked at the semiconductor startup Fab2 on scatterometry, building off my work from last summer where I developed their ellipsometry software and mathematics, making it several orders of magnitude faster.
