Prof. Dr. Marcus VÖLP

Me and my Research:

Hi, my name is Marcus Völp. I am an associate professor for and head of the @ SnT. My research interests include: Resilient Computing in Cyber-Physical and Embedded Systems CritiX – Critical and Extreme Security and Dependability Research Group

• ultra-reliable operating systems

• fault and intrusion tolerant real-time, embedded and cyber-physical systems

• intransitive trust relationships, and

• hierarchical hybridization

In particular, I’m interested how properties of distributed systems can be leveraged in the small to construct highly resilient and dependable distributed systems-on-a-chip and how findings at this small scale can help to build better systems in the large.

Academic Areas:

• Security

• Dependability

• Resilience

• Fault and Intrusion Tolerance

• Operating Systems

• Microkernel-based Systems

• Real-time and Embedded Systems

• Cyber-physical Systems
