The focus of Hubert Kaeslin’s research is on the design of digital VLSI circuits and architectures for signal and information processing applications.
Hubert Kaeslin was appointed Adjunct Professor at the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering in 2010. He is currently head of the Microeletronics Design Center.
He was born 1953 in Porrentruy.
He graduated 1978 from ETH Zurich with a Diploma in Electrical Engineering.
He gained his PhD degree from ETH Zurich in 1985. For his thesis he developed a text-to-speech system for the German language with unlimited vocabulary.
1986-1988 he worked as a postdoc at the then newly founded Integrated Systems Lab of ETH Zurich. Later he reconverted himself to microelectronics.
1989 he founded the Microelectronics Design Center at ETH Zurich, which he has headed since. The center has contributed to approximately 300 microchips for research and education purposes at the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering.
