Ingo Sander

Ingo Sander is a Professor in Electronic Systems Design at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, affiliated with the Digital Futures Faculty and the Division of Electronics and Embedded Systems. He joined KTH in 1993 and has held his current professorship since 2018. His research focuses on formal system design methodologies like ForSyDe, emphasizing embedded systems, mixed-criticality applications, and design automation. He co-founded the cross-disciplinary Digital Futures research center, which addresses societal challenges through digital technology innovation.

Education: MSc in Electrical Engineering (Technical University of Braunschweig, 1990), PhD and Docent at KTH (2003, 2009). Professional experience includes work at Ericsson (1991–1993).

Research Interests: Design methodologies for embedded systems, models of computation (MoCs), formal verification, and cyber-physical systems. Key contributions include the ForSyDe framework and design space exploration techniques for multiprocessor platforms. His work bridges theoretical foundations with practical implementations, targeting safety-critical and high-performance embedded systems.

Teaching: Ingo Sander supervises numerous master’s degree projects in computer engineering, electrical engineering, and ICT innovation. He leads courses on embedded software, systems design, and simulation.

Labs & Projects: Digital Futures collaborates with Stockholm University and RISE, advancing innovations in digital technologies. Sander’s projects include the SAFEPOWER initiative for energy-efficient mixed-criticality systems and CONTREX for control systems design.
