Vincent Heuveline

Professor Vincent Heuveline serves as Professor and Head of the Engineering Mathematics and Computing Lab (EMCL) at Heidelberg University's Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR). He concurrently holds the positions of Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Director of the Computing Centre at the university, while leading the Data Mining and Uncertainty Quantification (DMQ) group at HITS gGmbH.

His academic background includes:

• Studies in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science at Caen (France) and Würzburg (Germany)
• PhD in Computer Science (1997) from Université de Rennes and INRIA
• Habilitation in Mathematics (2002) at Heidelberg University

Research focuses on uncertainty quantification (UQ), high-performance computing (HPC), and data-intensive computing with applications in medical engineering. He is deeply engaged in IT security research and teaching, developing practical frameworks for industrial deployment of numerical simulations and secure computing infrastructures.

Recent publications reveal converging trends in biomedical image segmentation (e.g., Biomedisa platform), metabolic modeling for newborn diagnostics, and cybersecurity solutions like DGA detection. Key interdisciplinary themes include machine learning for medical applications, HPC algorithm optimization, and network security frameworks addressing real-world industrial challenges.

He leads the EMCL and DMQ research groups, driving innovation in computational science. As CIO, he shapes Heidelberg University's digital infrastructure strategy while maintaining active industry collaborations for translating academic research into simulation and security solutions.
