Christopher Ringhofer, M.Sc.

Short CV

Christopher Ringhofer, M.Sc., works since April 2020 as a researcher at the Embedded Systems department of the University Duisburg-Essen. He received his Bachelors Degree for Applied Informatics with a focus on engineering informatics in 2017 at the University Duisburg-Essen. Afterwards he worked three years as a software engineer in a company with a focus on the Internet of Things. He received his Master's degree in 2020. In his Master thesis he worked on signal processing of ECG data and its analysis with deep neural networks. He then worked on two research projects funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research: "KI-Sprung: LUTNet" and "KI-LiveS".

Research

My current work is on automated search of efficient neural network architectures for signal processing on embedded devices. I am developing a system that uses neural architecture search to construct latency-optimized networks for signal processing of audio data. I use embedded FPGAs as the target platform for this. My current use case is digital audio effects, e.g. for studio and live applications.
