Eric Müller

Eric Müller is a Researcher affiliated with the Kirchhoff Institute for Physics at Heidelberg University. He received his diploma in Physics in 2009 and a Ph.D. in 2014 under Prof. Karlheinz Meier's Electronic Vision(s) group. Since 2007, he has focused on accelerated neuromorphic hardware architectures, contributing to the BrainScaleS software ecosystem as its architect and lead developer. In 2021, he joined the EINC (Electronic Intelligence) initiative at Heidelberg University, integrating electronic, photonic, and atomic systems for physical computing.

His research centers on neuromorphic modeling concepts, sustainable system development via research software engineering, and platform reliability in federated computing environments. He explores interactions between physical and conventional computing systems to enable beyond-von-Neumann architectures, emphasizing scalable computing, closed-loop information processing, and novel computing paradigms.
