According to LinkedIn records,
Gennadiy Agranov, a former Aptina's VP of Imaging Technology and Pixel CTO, joins Apple as a Director of Imaging Sensors Technology. Gennadiy used to be active in image sensor community and was the Technical Chair of IISW 2013 in Snowbird, UT.
Congratulations Gennadiy! Hope you can drive some kind of standardization for camera IQ parameters in industry since Nokia is slowly falling off that role.
ReplyDeleteHe switched roles with Terry Gilton who is back at aptina. Good luck to both talented fellows.
ReplyDeleteI hope this can help to bring Aptina sensors into Apple's iProducts!
ReplyDeleteApple is lucky to have him. Good luck Gennadiy.
ReplyDeleteПоздравляю! Hope new sensors coming soon. AK
ReplyDelete"used to be active in image sensor community "
ReplyDeleteI think and hope it is premature to use the past tense!
Anyway, best wishes droog.
Pixel CTO, it is a strange title.
ReplyDeleteTitles don't matter, I can tell you more stories about it. Most important is to have fun in your job. Wishing Gennadiy good luck in his new future.
DeleteTitle does matter. It reflects a company's organization and the position/value in this company. Maybe this tells us why he switched to Apple. Maybe you too?
DeleteI agree it is an odd title. Most titles that end with Officer are usually Corporate Officers and responsible for the corporation as a whole. But, Apple marches to the beat of a different drummer and perhaps there are Officers and officers. Perhaps Pixel Chief Technologist would be better.
DeleteGennadiy's switch to Apple is one in a long line of Aptina body snatches that Apple has performed. My guess is that the outlook for Apple is better than the outlook for Aptina. I just hope Aptina finds its way back. Particularly painful for me to watch from the sidelines.
