Victor van Santen

Dr.-Ing Victor van Santen is a Researcher at the Chair of AI Processor Design (AI-Pro) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). He works in the Siemens Technology Center (Garching) and Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) facilities, focusing on hardware reliability and advanced computing technologies.

His research integrates:

• Hardware reliability: Modeling aging/self-heating effects from transistors to full processors.
• Cryogenic CMOS: Developing circuits for quantum computing at ultra-low temperatures.
• ML-CAD fusion: Applying machine learning to predict circuit degradation and optimize designs.
• Design automation: Creating tools for cryogenic and reliability-aware circuit synthesis.

His recent publications emphasize machine learning-driven reliability analysis, cryogenic memory design for quantum systems, and aging characterization in CMOS technologies. Work consistently bridges semiconductor physics, circuit design, and AI methodologies.

He collaborates with Prof. Hussam Amrouch and contributes to projects on neuromorphic hardware, RISC-V for AI, and quantum-classical co-design.
