پژوهشگر
Dr. Wanja Hofer is a former research staff member at the Department of Computer Science 4 (Distributed Systems and Operating Systems) at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). She specialized in embedded systems, real-time operating systems, and aspect-oriented programming. Her research focused on optimizing hardware-centric systems like Sloth and CiAO, addressing challenges in interrupt handling, scheduling, and software product line variability. Her academic journey includes a PhD in 2014 titled Sloth: The Virtue and Vice of Latency Hiding in Hardware-Centric Operating Systems . She contributed to key projects such as Sloth (time-triggered RTOS) and CiAO (aspect-oriented OS family), emphasizing scalability and configurability for automotive and embedded domains. Hofer also held roles like Web chair for EuroSys 2009 and co-maintained the EuroSys Research Directory. Her teaching involved Basics of Systems Programming in C and OS-related seminars. She advised over 15 graduate students on topics ranging from MPU-based task isolation to filesystem-level variability management. Notable contributions include hardware-accelerated interrupt handling, aspect-oriented OS design, and embedded system energy optimization. Hofer currently works at Brose Fahrzeugteile, applying her expertise in embedded systems and real-time computing to automotive technologies. Her work bridges academic innovation with industrial applications, particularly in safety-critical and resource-constrained environments.
