Carsten Trinitis

Prof. Dr. Carsten Trinitis is a full professor at the Chair of Computer Architecture & Parallel Systems within the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology. Specializing in high-performance computer architecture with a unique focus on spaceflight applications and informatics ethics, he leads the 'Gesellschaft für Informatik und Ethik' (Society for Informatics and Ethics).

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from TUM (1998)
• Industry experience before returning to academia
• Former Assistant Professor in History of Science (2002-2010) at Universität der Bundeswehr München
• Full Professor of Distributed Computing at University of Bedfordshire (2010-2014)

His research spans three major domains:

• High-Performance Computing: Focused on microprocessor architectures, hardware-oriented optimizations, and co-design approaches. Recent work includes GPU power capping strategies and Data Distribution Service (DDS) middleware enhancements.
• Space Systems: Pioneering computer architectures for nanosatellites with projects like MOVE-II mission and MicroPython-based satellite control systems.
• Digital Ethics: Through his 'Gewissensbits' initiative, he explores ethical decision-making frameworks for technology and contributes to the German Informatics Society's ethical guidelines.

Key publication trends show interdisciplinary work connecting:

• HPC systems and edge AI applications
• FPGA-based verification and RISC-V processors
• Time series analysis at petascale performance
• Hardware-software co-design for extreme environments
• Continued emphasis on ethical computing frameworks

Scientific Recognition:

• TeachInf Award for Outstanding Teaching (2023)
• Hans Meuer Award for Best Paper (2020)
• ZARM Master Thesis Awards (2016, 2017)

Prof. Trinitis leads multiple research projects including:

• SEANERGYS (EuroHPC) - Energy-efficient computing systems
• PlasmaPEPS - Plasma physics simulation environments
• OpenCUBE - Open computing frameworks for space
