Jakob Lechner

Jakob Lechner is an External Lecturer in the Computer Engineering department at Vienna University of Technology. His work focuses on fault-tolerant digital circuit design, asynchronous systems, and robust hardware architectures.

• Education: PhD in Computer Engineering (2014), Diploma in Computer Engineering (2008)

Research interests include:

• Fault-tolerant computing
• Asynchronous circuit design
• Transient error mitigation in FPGAs
• Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR)
• Metastability containment
• Single Event Transients (SET) resilience

His publications (2006–2018) emphasize fault injection techniques, robust GALS circuits, and asynchronous communication protocols. Key projects include Intel CARS (2017–2019) on delay-insensitive codes.

Supervision: Guided K. D. Pados' thesis on AXI4 bus systems (2013).
