Philipp van Kempen

Philipp van Kempen is a researcher at the Chair of Design Automation (Prof. Schlichtmann) at the Technical University of Munich. His work focuses on electronic design automation, specifically targeting RISC-V architecture, TinyML optimization, and LLVM compiler infrastructure for custom hardware accelerators.

• Key Research Areas: RISC-V ISA extensions, autovectorization, neural network accelerators, and compiler toolchain automation.
• Collaborations: Works with Daniel Mueller-Gritschneder, Ulf Schlichtmann, and Jefferson Parker Jones.

His recent publications highlight contributions to benchmarking TinyML CNN kernels on RISC-V vector hardware, developing semi-automated LLVM support for ISA extensions, and optimizing TinyML inference through frameworks like MLonMCU and muRISCV-NN.
