Who's Who?

Since February 2023, Prof. Dr. Boris Koldehofe is the new head of the Distributed and Operating Systems Group at TU Ilmenau. He graduated in computer science from Saarland University, received his PhD from Chalmers Tekniska Högskola and his habilitation from TU Darmstadt. Prof. Koldehofe has worked in research and teaching at several national and international institutions such as EPFL, the Universities of Stuttgart and Heidelberg and most recently as a Full Professor at the University of Groningen. He is still active in the DFG Collaborative Research Center 1053 MAKI at the TU Darmstadt. His research in the area of distributed systems and operating systems deals with fundamentals of adaptive and distributed computing systems as well as their application-oriented evaluation with respect to performance, reliability and security. Special focus is currently in the context of the so-called "In-Network Computing", the consideration and integration of programmable communication systems to accelerate IoT-related applications for the processing of large data streams and their analysis and to operate more energy-efficiently. More recently, Prof. Koldehofe has also been researching the integration of new computational models and storage technologies such as memristors in order to operate distributed computing systems more energy efficiently.
