Farshad Moradi, Section head at Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Aarhus University
Received a PhD in Nanoelectronics from University of Oslo, Norway in 2011. Currently he is a professor with the department of electrical and computer engineering at Aarhus University. He is the director of ICELAB focusing on chip design for ultra-low power applications. He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed scientific papers. He is also the CSO of CENEXUM ApS. His main research interest is on low power ASIC design for computing on the edge.
Dennis Øland Larsen, CTO & Co-Founder at Skycore Semiconductors
CTO of Skycore Semiconductors, specializing in high-performance switched-capacitor DC-DC converters. He holds an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and an industrial PhD from DTU and GN Hearing, focusing on power converters for hearing aids.
With experience from ICEpower, Merus Audio and GN Hearing, Dennis has worked on chip design for audio amplifiers, delta-sigma A/D converters, and DC-DC converters. At Skycore, he oversees technology and IP development of advanced DC-DC conversion chips for power modules, data centers, and battery systems.
Christian Westmark, PhD & Manager at Analog IC Development at GN Group
Christian is the manager of analog & physical IC development in the IC department at GN, which develops multiple ASICs enabling advanced and power-efficient communication and audio processing for medical grade products. He holds an MSc in Electrical Engineering and an industrial PhD from DTU and GN, focusing on integrated power converters for hearing instruments.
Christian has experience in power electronics and integrated circuit design, having worked with ICEpower, Oticon Medical, and GN. At GN, he manages the analog and physical IC design teams, driving the creation of next-generation chipsets for hearing instruments.
Anna Kierkegaard, Founder of eXistential AI
Anna Kierkegaard is CEO of eXistential AI, making medical devices smarter through ultra-efficient, brain-inspired chips. Drawing from her background at the Danish Board of Technology and a master’s in business administration and philosophy, she drives innovation at the intersection of AI ethics and hardware development.
Anna leads a specialized team in neuromorphic ASIC development, creating IP that improves medical device processing, and looks to build strategic partnerships with leading medical device manufacturers.”
Jørgen Kragh Jakobsen, IC Works – Open Source Chip Design
