معرفی
Stefan Wildermann is a Professor at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), where he leads the Reconfigurable Computing Group within the Chair of Computer Science 12 (Hardware-Software Co-Design) in the Department of Computer Science. He has maintained continuous research activity at FAU since 2006, progressing from researcher to his current leadership position.
Dr. Wildermann earned his Diploma degree in Computer Science from FAU in 2006 and completed his doctorate (Dr.-Ing.) in Computer Science at the same institution in July 2012. His academic career has been entirely rooted at FAU, demonstrating a strong institutional commitment and progression through the ranks.
His research spans multiple cutting-edge areas in computer science and engineering, with particular emphasis on reconfigurable systems and hardware-software co-design. Wildermann's work in edge computing explores efficient processing at the network periphery, while his research in organic computing investigates self-organizing systems that can adapt to changing environments. His expertise extends to optimization techniques for embedded systems, applying game theory principles and convex optimization methods to solve complex resource allocation problems. More recently, he has integrated reinforcement learning approaches to enhance system adaptability and performance. His teaching portfolio includes courses on event-driven systems, computer engineering fundamentals, embedded systems, and hardware-software co-design.
Analysis of Wildermann's publication record from 2021-2025 reveals a strong focus on hardware acceleration, security, and embedded systems. His work demonstrates consistent evolution from foundational research in reconfigurable architectures toward practical applications in IoT, robotics, and secure computing. A significant portion of his recent work addresses near-data processing using FPGAs for database acceleration, while maintaining parallel research streams in side-channel security analysis and energy-efficient embedded systems design. His publications frequently appear in top-tier conferences including DATE, FPL, ASP-DAC, and HOST, reflecting strong recognition within the computer architecture and embedded systems communities.
Wildermann has held significant leadership roles including Head of the Reconfigurable Computing Group since 2015 and previously served as Head of the Self-organizing Systems Group (2012-2015) and Lab Leader of the Automotive Lab within the Embedded Systems Initiative (2016-2020). His research has been consistently funded through multiple projects investigating invasive computing, reconfigurable architectures, and embedded systems design methodologies.
Currently based in Room 02.116 at Cauerstr. 11, 91058 Erlangen, Wildermann continues to lead active research in the Hardware-Software Co-Design group, supervising projects that bridge theoretical computer science with practical hardware implementation challenges.
