Embedded Systems Engeneering - DTU Compute — Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

Integrated Circuits - the most advanced and wide spread human made technology building the foundation of our modern life and our society.

We build asynchronous integrated circuits takeling the fundamental scaling problems of classic industry standard synchonous integrated ciruits. We design efficient and scalable data and event-driven silicon — as well as mixed-signal and custom novel integated devices and technologies into integrated systems together with colaborators, as well as the design EDA tools that go with them. Our work spans the full stack, from custom circuit and cell libraries, memory to architecture and System-on-Chip alongside the EDA flow. Our chips are application focused and we are particualrly looking into smart sensing and hardware for miniture robotics. One core focus is efficient, low-power bio-inspired / neuromorphic AI processor pipelines, pushing the boundary of efficiency with unconventional architectures.

The lab is part of DTU and led by Ole Richter.
