Prof. Dr. Andreas Herkersdorf is a Full Professor and Chair of Integrated Systems at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) School of Computation, Information and Technology. His research focuses on application-specific multicore processors (MPSoC), FPGA-based prototyping, fault-tolerant systems, and energy-efficient architectures, with applications in IP packet processing, automotive systems, and visual computing. He has received multiple IBM innovation awards and serves on editorial boards including the DFG Review Board for computer architecture. Education: Dipl.-Ing. Electrical Engineering (TUM, 1987), Dr. techn. Electrical Engineering (ETH Zurich, 1991) Research: MPSoC architectures, autonomic computing, NoC resilience, FPGA acceleration, and self-optimizing systems. Awards: IBM Master Inventor (1998), IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement Award (2001), multiple IBM Innovation Achievement Awards (1996-2003) His recent publications emphasize hardware/software co-design, machine learning integration for runtime optimization, and network-on-chip innovations. He collaborates on projects involving 6G systems, smartNICs, and automotive communication protocols.
