M.Sc. Vincent Meyers

Short Bio

Vincent Meyers received his B.Sc degree in Computer Science from Technische Universität Dortmund in 2017. In 2022, he received his M.Sc. in Computer Science from Karlsruhe Institut of Technology (KIT). His master thesis was focused on reverse-engineering folded neural network architecture.

Since June 2022, he is a Ph.D. student at the CDNC group of Prof. Mehdi B. Tahoori at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. His current research interests are in hardware security, with a focus on neural network accelerators.
