History

Compaan Design is a spin-out from University Leiden, the oldest university from the Netherlands (founded in 1575). The technology of Compaan Design is the result of many years of focused research under the supervision of prof. Ed Deprettere and Dr. Bart Kienhuis. Prof Deprettere is a distinguished IEEE Fellow, who has many years of experience with mapping signal processing applications to hardware. He has supervised many research projects (national and international) in this field and gained an extensive expertise in this area. Dr. Kienhuis has been a researcher at Philips Research and the University of California at Berkeley before he became an assistant professor. Dr. Kienhuis has extensive knowledge on design methodologies for programmable platforms and system level design.
