Dr. Greg Morrow is a Principal Software Architect in the Research and Development department of National Instruments Corporation (NI.) For the last fourteen years, Greg has designed and implemented software and hardware systems for real-time applications, primarily in the area of embedded control systems and their associated test systems. The set of customers using these tools spans from Aerospace and Automotive, through medical devices, all the way to Big-Physics applications such as Tokomak and Telescope control.

Greg earned his B.S. in Mathematics from Stanford University, and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Texas at Austin. Greg’s physics research at UT involved large-scale parallel computations of the fundamental properties of quantum systems at their transition to chaos. After graduation, Greg accepted a post-doctoral appointment at the Texas Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (TICAM) at UT Austin. Greg’s work in TICAM concerned massively parallel implementation of mathematics algorithms, mostly sparse and dense linear algebra.

Following a consulting project for National Instruments undertaken during his post-doc, Greg accepted a position developing software in the R&D department of NI. Greg has worked on several sub-disciplines within the LabVIEW team: Real-time, Control Design and Simulation, High Performance Computing, Hardware-in-the-loop testing, and FPGA-based control and simulation. Greg currently manages the Control, Math, and Simulation team within LabVIEW R&D.

Greg resides in Austin, Texas, with his wife of 23 years and his three children. Outside of work and family, Greg also enjoys golf, skiing, and making music.
