Research Interests

• Hardware acceleration in the field of machine learning
• Functional Safety of Artificial Intelligence in safety-critical environments

Artificial intelligence and neural networks have played an increasingly important role in recent years, especially in image processing. This progress enables highly complex applications like computer vision in autonomous driving. However, the more accurate these models become, the greater the computing effort. Since normal computers are no longer sufficient for this purpose, research is being conducted on special hardware accelerators that meet the demanding real-time requirements even when embedded in mobile systems.
In order to enable the use in safety-critical environments, research must be conducted not only on the „making safe“ of the algorithms, but also on the underlying new hardware architectures.
