Biography

Jens Sparsø is an expert in the design of hardware platforms used in digital computer-based systems, such as electronic equipment including pacemakers, hearing aids, mobile phones, computers, and data network routers. This field is known as "cyber-physical systems." His main research themes include the architecture and construction of digital systems, integrated circuits, and asynchronous (clockless) circuits. The focus of his research is on techniques that can reduce the energy consumption of systems and on methods for connecting modules into larger systems, utilizing packet-switching techniques known from computer networks and IP telephony. Jens Sparsø has guided 15 Ph.D. students and approximately 90 master's theses and bachelor's projects, and he is responsible for DTU's courses in digital systems, computer architecture, and the design of asynchronous circuits. He has authored and co-authored over 80 scientific articles and is the main author of the most cited textbook on asynchronous circuit design. He has received several prestigious awards, including the Radio Parts Prize in 1992, the Reinholdt W. Jorck Prize in 2003, and, along with Tobias Bjerregaard, the Paper Prize at the IEEE International Symposium on Asynchronous Circuits and Systems in 2005.
