Jian-Jia Chen

Professor at RWTH Aachen University University

Ruhr Region

About

I received my Ph.D. degree from National Taiwan University in computer science in 2006, under the supervision of Professor Tei-Wei Kuo. Between Jan. 2008 and April 2010, I worked with Professor Lothar Thiele as a postdoc at Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering in ETH Zurich. Since May 2010, I have joined Department of Informatics at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany as Junior Professor. I have worked out several innovative ideas both in system-level designs and algorithmic analysis. For future research, I would like to work more towards general system issues. Specifically, I have been starting already to broaden my research scope and continuing even more in this direction to study the tradeoff between timing predictability and efficiency on all layers of abstraction in parallel computing systems. This would allow system designers to extract timing guarantees under uncertain interferences with cross-layer dependencies in timing critical systems, such as avionic or automotive applications.
