Rethinking computing, from the transistor to the application. At the ITI we explore how hardware and software work together, and we take our ideas all the way to a working prototype.

Four pillars, one foundation

Under the roof of Modern Computing stand four pillars, each with two research groups:

  • Embedded Systems Design: HW/SW Co-Design and Embedded Systems
  • Digital Circuits Design: IC Design and Computer Architecture
  • Dependable Computing: Reliable Computing and Secure Computing
  • Post-Moore Computing: In-Memory Computing and Heterogeneous Computing

They rest on Edge-AI Computing: artificial intelligence right where the data is created.

Current projects are concerned with both basic research and applications in the areas of Medicine, Environmental Engineering and Industry.

These works are carried out by an international and interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, electrical engineers and mechanical engineers. Concerning teaching, the Institute of Computer Engineering is responsible for basic training in Computer Engineering in the courses Computer Science, Medical Informatics and Medical Engineering as well as for the application subject Robotics and Automation in the Computer Science studies. Furthermore, deepening lectures, seminars and practical courses on the current research topics are offered.
