Short CV

Leo Buron, M.Sc., is working as a research assistant and doctoral student at the Intelligent Embedded Systems Lab since May 2022. After completing his dual studies in electrical engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf in cooperation with Siemens, he moved to the University of Duisburg-Essen for his master's degree. There, he studied Electrical Engineering and Information Technology with a focus on embedded systems and worked part-time at Siemens Energy. His master thesis was about the efficient design of LUTs on FPGAs for precomputed neural networks.

Research

He is currently employed for the MERCUR project Sp:Ai:ke. The main goal of this project is to optimise an existing spike sorting algorithm for FPGAs and to develop better alternatives in the future. He is particularly interested in time series analysis. The most important steps here are Feature Extraction and Clustering.
