Departmental homepageProfessor Mullins's interests are focused in the area of efficient machine learning and computing hardware. He is a founder and director of lowRISC, a not-for-profit company that uses collaborative engineering to develop and maintain open-source silicon designs and tools. He was also a co-founder of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a UK charity that promotes the study of computer science and electronics at the school level.
Professor Mullins teaches on courses related to his research in the Computer Science Tripos.
His current research is focused in the area of efficient and secure machine learning, accelerator and microprocessor design, and open-source hardware. He has recently started a new project as part of ARIA's Scaling Compute programme, with the goal of bringing the cost of AI hardware down by more than 1000x. This project is in collaboration with the researchers at Imperial College London and the University of Edinburgh.
