Richard Membarth is a professor for system on a chip and AI for edge computing at the Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI). His research interests include parallel computer architectures and programming models with a focus on automatic code generation for a variety of architectures ranging from embedded systems to HPC installations for applications from image processing, computer graphics, scientific computing, and deep learning.
Richard received the diploma degree in Computer Science from the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the postgraduate diploma in Computer and Information Sciences from the Auckland University of Technologies (AUT). In 2013, he received the PhD (Dr.-Ing.) degree from FAU on automatic code generation for GPU accelerators from a domain-specific language for medical imaging. After the PhD, he joined the Graphics Chair and the Intel Visual Computing Institute (IVCI) at Saarland University as a postdoctoral researcher. At the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), he was a senior researcher and team leader for compiler technologies and high-performance computing.
