Daniel Lohmann

Professor Daniel Lohmann leads the Systems Research and Architecture (SRA) group at Leibniz Universität Hannover since 2017, following his role as Associate Professor (Privatdozent) at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (2009–2016). His work focuses on configurable system software, emphasizing embedded systems, real-time systems, and dependable architectures. Key projects include danceOS (dependability in embedded OS), Sloth (minimal-effort kernels), and AspectC++ (aspect-oriented C++ extension). His research is funded by DFG and addresses challenges in variability management, fault tolerance, and real-time scheduling.

Research interests span operating systems design, software product lines, generative programming, and aspect-oriented development. Notable contributions include the CiAO OS family and the Sloth RTOS, leveraging aspect-oriented techniques for flexibility and efficiency. His work on configuration analysis (e.g., static variability in Linux) and fault mitigation (e.g., AN-Codes for soft errors) highlights his expertise in system reliability and optimization.

Publications emphasize real-time systems, embedded software, and software engineering, with awards including the Best Paper Award at SPLC 2010 and an Outstanding Paper at RTAS 2017. He supervises theses on system software tailoring, fault tolerance, and industrial software ecosystems. His groups collaborate on invasive computing (SFB/TRR 89) and hardware-aware OS design.
