Chao Qian, M. Sc.

Short CV
Chao Qian, M.Sc., has been working as a researcher and PhD student at the UDE's Department of Embedded Systems since April 2020. He received his bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2015 with a focus on wireless sensor networks. From 2013 to 2017, he was working in a company designing and producing wearable devices and humanoid robots. In 2020, he received his master's degree in Embedded Systems with a focus on energy-efficient embedded AI systems at the University Duisburg-Essen.
Research
At the core of his research interests are techniques that allow artificial intelligence (AI) in reconfigurable hardware such as FPGAs that can operate with high energy efficiency and allow to design high-performance hardware with proper software components. A special focus lies in introducing AI technologies into more areas of the widely applied domain of embedded systems which traditionally were not capable of running AI due to limited computing resources and power budget.
