Dr. Ashu Guru is a former university professor and software scientist with approximately 25 years of experience in software engineering and information technology. Early in his career, Dr. Guru served as an application specialist at a major supercomputing center, where he supported high-performance, data-intensive applications for scientific research and was an affiliate of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Dr. Guru later served as Director of Research Strategy and faculty at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, where he led interdisciplinary software initiatives and taught courses in data science, systems engineering and applied computing. He subsequently transitioned into software development roles at post-secondary institutions in California, where he designed and maintained enterprise-grade applications supporting critical academic and administrative operations. Dr. Guru holds a Ph.D. in Industrial and Management Systems Engineering and an M.S. in Manufacturing Systems ...

I am a Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at the University of Florida, IEEE Fellow, and AAAS Fellow, and I serve as an expert witness in patent litigation and other complex technology matters involving distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, data platforms, machine learning, GPU-accelerated and high-performance computing systems, and large-scale software architectures. My work focuses on helping counsel and courts understand how modern computing systems operate in practice—particularly where technical claims, system behavior, and real-world implementation diverge. This includes analyzing how systems behave under scale, latency, partial failure, and distributed coordination constraints. I provide clear, structured, and defensible technical analysis across all phases of litigation, including expert reports, depositions, PTAB/IPR proceedings, and trial testimony. I previously served as CTO and co-founder of Paramark, an ad-serving optimization platform (PILOT) that opera...
