Richard Lee Coulson
Intel Senior Fellow, Technology and Manufacturing Group
Director, I/O Architecture
INTEL CORPORATION
Richard Lee Coulson is the Director of I/O Architecture in the Storage Technologies Group. His responsibilities include the conception and implementation of new storage devices based on solid state memory. These devices are designed to break the storage performance bottleneck that hampers many computer applications, while lowering power consumption and total cost of ownership. His group is also responsible for architecture and performance analysis of emerging I/O devices and interfaces, including the SATA storage interface, network adapters, and serial interfaces. His group finds and addresses performance bottlenecks and issues related to I/O that could limit the performance or capabilities of the PC platform.
Coulson was born in New York City in 1956. He received his bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from University of Colorado in 1980 and his master's degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford in 1983.
Upon graduation, Coulson was a Development Engineer at Storage Technology Corporation. He became a Senior Engineer at Intel in 1983, was promoted to Staff Engineer in 1987, was transferred to BiiN in a joint venture between Intel and Siemens as I/O engineering Manager in 1988, became I/O Engineering Manager for Sequent Computer Systems Inc. in 1989, and rejoined Intel in 1993 as Manager of the I/O Architecture Group, Platform Architecture Labs. He was named an Intel Fellow in 1997, and an Intel Senior Fellow in 2006.
Coulson was awarded the Intel Achievement Award four times: in May 1986 for the development of a new I/O subsystem, again in 1996 for revolutionizing the I/O capabilities of the Standard High Volume Server, in 1998 for the Intel Application Launch Accelerator, and in 2007 for developing core technologies for using non volatile memory in Intel platforms. He holds more than 40 Patents.
