Serge Nikulin

Serge Nikulin has extensive work experience in various engineering roles. Serge started their career at Applied Materials in 1996, where they invented and developed methods for cross-platform virtualization and operator emulation. Serge also invented a new cold plasma confinement with circular magnetic fields for silicon processing.

In 2003, they joined L3 Technologies as an Engineering Fellow and co-invented a full-body scanner used in airports. Serge created the scanner's software architecture and wrote its majority of software.

Serge then worked at Faraday Future as a Technical Fellow, where they created the Faraday Future Framework (FFF) according to coding guidelines. The framework used RTI Connext Pro and ran on multiple operating systems.

At Apex.AI, they served as an Engineering Fellow, creating a low-level framework for Apex.OS. Serge ensured compliance with safety standards and conducted testing for all the code.

As a Software Development Consultant at Leidos, they provided expertise in software development.

Currently, they are an Engineering Fellow at SafeAI, Inc., where they created a safe framework called SAF for rapid and secure application development and deployment. Serge designed the overall system and software architecture and developed a software production workflow that prevents the submission of subpar code.

Serge Nikulin holds a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Mathematical Physics from the Institute of Radio-engineering and Electronics, Moscow, Russia (IRE). Prior to this, they earned a Master's Degree in Applied Mathematics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University) (MIPT).
