GraphPCBS: Graph Neural Networks for Printed Circuit Boards

GraphPCBS aims to use Graph Neural Networks to automatically optimize the schematic design of printed circuit boards. It is a joint project between the department of IntelligentEmbedded Systems and the smart electronics-engineering company CELUS. Professor Thomas continues to fulfill her role as PI in this project after transferring to the University of Greifswald. Until now, the optimization takes a a lot of time even for an experienced engineer, resulting in either high development costs or suboptimal circuit designs that reduce product reliability and lifespan. In this project we combine forces in the fields of deep learning on graphs and electronic engineering to solve this problem.

GraphPCBS is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space Germany (BMFTR, formerly BMBF) under funding code 16ME0877, according to the "KMU-innovativ' guideline.
