TETRAMAX has come to an end with the highest grading.
In its final review meeting, the TETRAMAX Innovation Action received the highest ranking from the European Commission, as also achieved for its predecessor TETRACOM. The project officer and the external reviewers have emphasized that “the project is a clear success”. It was launched in 2017 with the mission to promote…
The doctoral work of Dominik Šišejković, titled "Trustworthy Hardware Design with Logic Locking", has won the best PhD award at the VLSI-SoC'21 PhD forum. The work focuses on various aspects of logic locking (a hardware obfuscation technique) to protect the integrity of modern hardware designs against malicious modifications. The work has been supervised by Prof. Rainer Leupers.
Following comprehensive research activities within the UMIC Excellence Cluster, Silexica has been founded at ICE in 2014 by Maximilian Odendahl, Johannes Emigholz, Dr. Weihua Sheng, Prof. Jeronimo Castrillon and Prof. Rainer Leupers. First seed funding has been provided via the BMBF EXIST program, and early technology adopters from industry included Huawei and Samsung.
