Akash Kumar is a chaired Professor of Processor Design (with tenure) in the department of Computer Science at Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), Germany. From 2009 to 2015, he was with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, NUS. He received the joint Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in embedded systems from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and National University of Singapore (NUS), in 2009; joint Master’s degree from TU/e and NUS in 2005 in embedded systems and Bachelor of Computer Engineering degree from NUS in 2002.

His research interests span various aspects of design automation in the context of embedded real-time systems, particularly emphasizing reliable, resource-efficient and predictable architectures for embedded systems, including FPGA-based architectures. His research spans across various layers in the system design from hardware design to application analysis. He has published close to 170 articles in premier international conferences and journals in the area of design automation. He has released many open-source tool flows with his research group for system design and analysis to allow the community to reproduce their results and further research in the related areas.

He serves (or has recently served) on the program committee of renowned conferences in the area like DAC, DATE, FPL and CASES.
