Prof. Dr.-Ing. Mladen Berekovic

Research

Mladen Berekovic is director of the Institute of Computer Engineering. His research is on microelectronic systems: systems-on-chip, processor design, domain-specific architectures, especially graphics processors, cryptographic processors and AI accelerators, on FPGAs as well as ASICs.

He leads the research fields Modern Computing, Digital Circuits Design, Post-Moore Computing and Edge-AI Computing with the groups Computer Architecture, IC Design, In-Memory Computing and Heterogeneous Computing.

Current topics

• Accelerators and RISC-V: matrix extensions, memory access of softcores, designing hardware and neural network together
• Emerging memories: reconfigurable logic made of RRAM, and the stability of SRAM cells predicted with machine learning
• Trustworthy hardware: hardware roots of trust, side-channel analysis and accelerators for post-quantum cryptography, together with the group of Saleh Mulhem
• Computers in vehicles: accelerators for central vehicle computers in CeCaS
