Our Story
EMBEDL AB (EmbeDL) is a spin-off from the Horizon 2020 funded research project LEGaTO. The mission of EmbeDL is to commercialise its Deep Learning optimisation engine into a highly scalable service that makes DL-based AI affordable and energy efficient in embedded systems. The DL optimisation engine bridges the gap between data scientist, experts in AI algorithms, and computer engineers, experts in hardware.
EmbeDL has close connections to academic research, European industry and innovation ecosystem as well as well-established connections to venture capital.
FOUNDERS
PROF. DEVDATT DUBHASHI, CHIEF SCIENTIST
Devdatt is a Professor in the Data Science and AI Division of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology and co-founder of EmbeDL. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University USA and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science in Saarbrueken Germany.
