Joachim Falk is a researcher at the Department of Hardware-Software Co-Design (Computer Science 12) at Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg. With over 20 years of experience since joining the department in 2004, he specializes in electronic system level design, dataflow programming, and hardware-software co-design, contributing significantly to the field through publications, teaching, and research leadership. His educational background includes: Doctorate degree (Dr.-Ing.) in Computer Science from FAU (2014) Diploma degree in electrical engineering (data processing) from Georg-Simon-Ohm University of Applied Science Nuremberg (2002) Falk's research focuses on Electronic System Level Design, Hardware/Software Code Generation for Data-Flow Graphs, Compiler Optimizations, and Parallel Architectures. His work bridges theoretical computer science with practical embedded systems implementation, particularly through the SystemC framework and his contributions to the SysteMoC language. He actively explores energy-efficient computing approaches for dataflow networks and embedded systems, with recent work emphasizing self-powering networks, clock and power gating techniques, and multi-reader buffer implementations for heterogeneous architectures. His recent publication trends reveal a consistent focus on optimizing dataflow networks for energy efficiency and performance. Key themes include self-powering dataflow networks, innovative clock and power management techniques, buffer management strategies for heterogeneous many-core systems, and invasive computing approaches. His research demonstrates a strong connection between theoretical models and practical implementation challenges in embedded systems design. Dr. Falk teaches courses including 'Entwicklung interaktiver eingebetteter Systeme' (Development of Interactive Embedded Systems) for Winter Semester 2024/2025 and 'SystemC' for Summer Semester 2024, supervising multiple theses on security modeling at the electronic system level and sleep/wake-up strategies for hardware implementations of dataflow networks. His research is conducted within the framework of projects like SysteMoC (representation of computational models in SystemC) and SystemCoDesigner (design space exploration for embedded systems).
