Joseph Boccuzzi, PhD, principal at Nvidia Corporation, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Engineers for dedication, achievements, and leadership in electrical engineering and technology.
For more than 35 years, Dr. Boccuzzi has positioned himself at the forefront of technological innovation, particularly in the field of wireless architecture. His impressive professional journey has been driven by an unwavering desire to continually learn and grow. This attitude pushed Dr. Boccuzzi to become the first member of his family to graduate from college and earn a doctorate. From there, it has guided him through many noteworthy opportunities, beginning in 1988 when he became an engineer for Motorola.
Building on his expertise in wireless technology further, Dr. Boccuzzi joined AT&T as a member of the technical staff in 1992. During this time, he was part of the team that developed the company’s first 2G cell phone, which he considers one of the greatest accomplishments of his career. Dr. Boccuzzi’s extensive work history includes tenures as technical manager at Cadence Design Systems, director of the East Coast Design Center for Morphics Technology, architect for Infineon Technologies, senior principal scientist at Broadcom, and director of common platform enumeration (CPE) system architectures at Mindspeed Technologies. He has also demonstrated skill in educating others, spending one year as an adjunct professor for the New York University Tandon School of Engineering (formerly New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering), where he created a graduate course on wireless digital cellular communications.
Over the course of five years, beginning in 2014, Dr. Boccuzzi was affiliated with Intel Corporation. He first joined the company as a member of the wireless access systems architecture team, but in 2018, he was promoted to principal of that segment. During this time, he contributed to the development of 4G and 5G wireless access system design.
Motivated by the sense of satisfaction he gains from addressing complex challenges, Dr. Boccuzzi has served as a principal at Nvidia Corporation since 2019. His duties comprise meeting with Nvidia’s customers to understand their next-generation technology plans, creating solutions to enable those goals and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to ensure that the best possible products are delivered based on that information. Dr. Boccuzzi played a key part in the innovation of Nvidia’s first software-defined network, which he considers a significant milestone. He takes pride in working for a company that prioritizes solving extremely difficult problems rather than just generating revenue.
Dr. Boccuzzi’s performance in the field was born of his academic journey. He first completed a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at NYU Tandon in 1988. In 1992, Dr. Boccuzzi obtained a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Florida Atlantic University. Subsequently, he returned to NYU Tandon to earn a PhD in electrical engineering with a minor in mathematics in 2005.
Known for his scholarly output in addition to his professional achievements, Dr. Boccuzzi has contributed to numerous papers and articles. He has presented his works through multiple publications and conferences affiliated with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, including the Global Communications Conference (Globecom), the Vehicular Technology Conference, the Sarnoff Symposium, the Wi-Fi Meeting, and the Circuits and Systems Society. Dr. Boccuzzi has published two books through McGraw Hill: 2008’s “Signal Processing for Wireless Communications” and 2010’s “Femtocells: Design & Application.” Most recently, he authored presentations on artificial intelligence (AI) at the 5G Expo and the Growth Networking Experience (GNEX) Conference, both in 2024.
Outside of his career, Dr. Boccuzzi enjoys spending his time boating and taking part in water sports. He remains committed to his lifelong goal of always learning new things. In the near future, Dr. Boccuzzi particularly looks forward to aiding in the evolution of 6G, the next generation of wireless technology, as well as integrating AI into the communications process.
