Timo Hönig

Prof. Timo Hönig is a Professor leading the Bochum Operating Systems and System Software (BOSS) Research Group at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB). Previously, he served as an Assistant Professor at Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), where he was part of Department of Computer Science 4. His research focuses on Energy-Aware Computing Systems, Operating Systems, and System Software design with applications in embedded and real-time systems.

Key research projects include the DFG Collaborative Research Center/TR 89 (Invasive Computing) and the DFG SPP 1914 (Latency- and Resilience-Aware Networking). He has received notable awards such as the SOSP SRC Gold Medal (2019) and the ISORC Best Paper Award (2017). He actively contributes to conferences like ACM EuroSys and USENIX ATC, and has led initiatives like the Albatross runtime system for energy-efficient HPC clusters.

Teaching includes courses on Energy-Aware Computing and Operating Systems Technology. His work bridges theoretical system software design with practical applications in energy efficiency and heterogeneous architectures. The BOSS group explores future system software challenges for many-core and NVM-based systems.
