UT Energy Symposium: 2015 State of Electric Vehicles

This week’s UT Energy Symposium features a talk on the 2015 State of Electric Vehicles by Dave Tuttle, a research fellow and PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin.

 

David Tuttle received the B.S. and M.Eng. degrees in Electrical Engineering with Highest Honors from the Speed Scientific School, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY. and the M.B.A. degree with the Dean’s Award from the University of Texas at Austin. He is currently a Research Fellow and Ph.D student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. His current research interests are PEVs, Smartgrid, PEV interactions and synergies with the electric grid, and renewable energy.

 

Dave was one of the original designers and technical team leaders of the POWER1 microprocessor which launched IBM’s UNIX/RISC systems. He then led the joint Apple/IBM/Motorola team which designed the first PowerPC microprocessor that launched the Apple PowerMac and IBM PowerPC based systems. He went on to lead multiple R&D teams responsible for high speed fiber optic based adapters & switches, the POWER2-SC microprocessor (used in the 1997 IBM Deep Blue chess playing Supercomputer which beat World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov), and other advanced processors and systems. He later formed a design team for Sun Microsystems focused on power efficient multi-core/multi-thread microprocessor development. From 2006 to 2007 he was the team manager of the University of Texas DARPA Urban Challenge autonomous vehicle team and an adviser to the UT-Austin Mechanical Engineering Department of Energy/ChallengeX hybrid vehicle development team. Today, he is one of the researchers in Austin’s Pecan Street Consortium/University of Texas Plug-In Vehicle and Smartgrid research project.
