Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLandon Curt Noll is a retired principal engineer and computational researcher with nearly three decades of experience applying high-performance computing, cryptography, and systems architecture to industry and scientific projects. At Cisco he combined hands-on HPC engineering with astronomy and astrophysics research, supporting major initiatives like the Square Kilometer Array and leading computation on the Arcetri UCS cluster. A mathematician and number‑theorist, he co-developed fast computational methods, held world records for large prime discovery, and is the "N" in the widely used FNV hash—details few generalists know. His career spans security and key management standards work (including IEEE P1619/P1619.3), cryptographic architecture, and mentorship of international interns. Off hours he is an active observational astronomer with field experience across global eclipse and Antarctic meteorite expeditions, bringing a rare blend of practical field science and deep systems expertise. He holds a BA in Math/Physics from Linfield College and continues to evaluate and pursue research projects post-retirement.
