Chair for Design Automation
We develop methods and software for designing and simulating circuits and systems, from conventional technologies to quantum computing, microfluidics, and field-coupled nanocomputing. We also apply these methods in other research areas. Our teaching combines undergraduate and graduate courses with supervision of Bachelor’s and Master’s theses, grounded in research-oriented learning. Whenever possible, we make our developments available as open source.
