Prof. Dr. habil. Johannes Schemmel

Johannes Schemmel has been the head of the “Electronic Visions” research group at the Kirchhoff-Institute für Physik since 2000 and of the ASIC Laboratory at Heidelberg University since 2008. He currently holds the chair in “Neuromorphic Computing Architectures” at the Institute of Computer Engineering (ziti) at Heidelberg University. His research focuses on highly parallel mixed-signal circuits for information processing, specifically the analog implementation of biologically inspired neural networks. His research group pioneered the wafer-scale implementation of analog neuromorphic processors and currently operates the Heidelberg neuromorphic BrainScaleS system as part of the European EBRAINS research infrastructure.
