Alexandre Sébastien Julien Levisse

Alexandre Sébastien Julien Levisse is a Lecturer at the Institute of Electrical Engineering within EPFL's School of Engineering, with additional roles as System Specialist in PAT/SEL departments and Scientist in IEM. His work centers on energy-efficient hardware architectures for edge computing and AI applications.

Research focuses on:

• Computer Architecture & VLSI Design
• Low-Power Electronics for edge devices
• Emerging Memory Technologies (RRAM, OxRAM)
• Neuromorphic & Approximate Computing
• In-Memory/ Near-Memory Computing
• Edge AI Hardware Acceleration

His 2022-2025 publications reveal strong emphasis on specialized edge AI hardware, including near-DRAM architectures (SideDRAM), RISC-V microcontrollers for healthcare (HEEPOcrates), and overflow-free memory systems. Key innovations involve hardware-software co-design for energy efficiency, variable precision computation, and novel memory hierarchies targeting wearable sensors and edge inference.

Levisse teaches Fundamentals of VLSI Design and Lab in Advanced VLSI Design at EPFL. He actively contributes to digital education as a member of EPFL's Centre for Digital Education (CCE), developing curricula for next-generation hardware engineers.
