Pasquale Davide Schiavone holds multiple research and teaching positions at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), serving as a Lecturer at the School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC) and as a Scientist at both the Embedded Systems Laboratory (ESL) within the School of Engineering (STI) and PAT Administration. His interdisciplinary work bridges computer architecture, embedded systems design, and biomedical applications, with office located at ELG 136 in Lausanne, Switzerland. Dr. Schiavone's research focuses on ultra-low-power computing systems, particularly RISC-V architectures and TinyML applications for edge devices. His work develops open-source hardware platforms like X-HEEP and HEEPOCRATES that enable energy-efficient AI at the edge, with applications spanning biomedical monitoring, neural interfaces, and wearable computing. He explores innovative hardware-software co-design approaches to overcome energy constraints in resource-limited environments. His recent publications reveal a consistent research trajectory centered on open, configurable computing platforms for specialized applications. The work spans from fundamental RISC-V architecture improvements (ARCANE, e-GPU) to application-specific implementations for biomedical contexts (BiomedBench, neural interfaces). A strong emphasis on energy efficiency permeates all his research, whether through novel arithmetic approaches (Posit), system architecture (near-memory computing), or specialized accelerators (Strela, Quadrilatero). Lecturer, School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC) Scientist, Embedded Systems Laboratory (ESL), School of Engineering (STI) Scientist, PAT Administration, School of Engineering (STI) Dr. Schiavone teaches courses on hardware compilation, presenting algorithms and methods for transforming hardware description languages into optimized circuit implementations. His Embedded Systems Laboratory work places him at the forefront of developing practical, open-source solutions for next-generation computing challenges in energy-constrained environments.
