معرفی
André DeHon is the Oliver C. Boileau Jr. and Nan Eleze Boileau Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, with affiliations in the Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE) and Computer and Information Science (CIS) departments. He founded the Penn Computer Engineering (CMPE) program and directs the DARPA-sponsored CyberSavvy Security Center. His research spans reconfigurable computing, FPGA architecture, interconnect design, hardware security, and energy efficiency, with a focus on adapting to fabrication imperfections and runtime variability.
His work explores programmable substrates (e.g., CMOS VLSI, molecular electronics) and algorithmic mappings to create resilient, efficient systems. Current projects include runtime feedback mechanisms (REFINE), partial reconfiguration (ExHiPR), and security frameworks like SCALPEL and μSCOPE.
Recent publications highlight advancements in FPGA compilation (PLD, HiPR), security (SCALPEL, μSCOPE), and interconnect optimization (Asymmetry in NoC). These studies intersect computer architecture, security, and embedded systems.
