Dr.-Ing. Vincent Meyers

Short Bio

Vincent Meyers received his B.Sc. degree in Computer Science from Technische Universität Dortmund in 2017 and his M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in 2022. His master's thesis focused on reverse-engineering folded neural network architectures.

In June 2026, he received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from KIT with summa cum laude honors for his dissertation entitled Methods for Security and Functional Safety in Reconfigurable AI Accelerators. He conducted his doctoral research at the Chair of Dependable Nano Computing (CDNC), headed by Prof. Mehdi B. Tahoori. His research interests lie in hardware security, with a particular focus on the security of neural network accelerators.
