Frank Bellosa

Frank Bellosa is a Professor and head of the Operating Systems Group at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Previously, he held roles at the University of Erlangen, including Assistant Professor and researcher in the Operating Systems Department. He earned his PhD from the University of Erlangen in 1998, focusing on memory-conscious scheduling in multiprocessor systems.

His research interests center on energy-aware systems, including OS-directed power management, thermal management in distributed systems, and flexible operating system architectures. Key projects include Event-Driven Clock Scaling (Process Cruise Control) and Energy-Aware Memory Management. He has advised numerous students on topics like temperature-aware scheduling and power management for embedded systems.

Bellosa's publications span dynamic thermal management, cooperative I/O, and energy-efficient file systems. His work emphasizes reducing energy consumption while maintaining performance through innovative OS mechanisms. He has contributed to international conferences and workshops, including EuroSys and USENIX, and serves on program committees for major systems conferences.

Current roles include leading the Operating Systems Group at KIT and contributing to initiatives like the Disruptive Memory Systems workshop. His research bridges hardware and software, addressing challenges in modern computing systems' efficiency and scalability.
