Ole Richter

Assistant Professor at the Technical University of Denmark in the field of asynchronous Integrated Circuit (IC) design. His research focuses on bringing asynchronous IC design into practical applications — smart sensors and closed-loop robotics. He particularly investigates efficient and low-power bio-inspired neurosynaptic AI processor pipelines, pushing the boundary of efficiency with unconventional architectures.

He holds a Bachelor's degree in Cognitive Computer Science from Bielefeld University (DE), a Master's degree in Neural Systems and Computation from UZH and ETH Zürich (CH), and a PhD from the University of Groningen (NL) with a focus on Bio-inspired Circuits and Systems. He has two years of industrial experience at an edge-AI processor start-up (aiCTX AG, now SynSense AG, CH) in asynchronous and mixed-signal IC design, and is a recurring Research Affiliate / Visiting Fellow at Yale University (US) in the Asynchronous VLSI and Architecture Group.
