Overview
SAIT established SAIT-America offices in Silicon Valley, Boston, and Pasadena to lead ground-breaking research. SAIT-America is strategically located near cutting edge R&D activities of prestigious academic institutions, renowned companies, and exciting startups. Officially opened in May 2011, SAIT-America’s mission is to plant the seeds of innovative technologies that will bloom and yield next generation Samsung products in 5 to 10 years. We aim to achieve this by collaborating with the most innovative minds in the world.
Research Areas & Core Activities
The Silicon Valley lab is developing new architectures of neural network processors for AI applications. Current AI needs big data centers or cloud servers with many GPU chips. Our aim is to bring down the massive size of algorithms, and at the same time to radically increase the processing power of neural network processors, thereby enabling AI capability on mobile phones or autonomous cars, which will have big impact to people’s lives and the society.
The Boston lab mainly focuses its effort on Materials research and development, with a special emphasis on next-generation energy storage and battery. Our engineers use computational simulations to explore and develop next-generation energy solutions.
The Pasadena lab focuses on next generation image sensor technologies for LIDAR and 3D depth sensors.
In addition to R&D, SAIT-America is the liaison between SAIT-HQ and the most innovative minds in North America for our open innovation efforts. We strive to create strong research relationships with top U.S. institutions and universities by embarking on innovative collaborations. We look forward to partnering with you.
