Jürgen Teich - Biography#

Jürgen Teich received his masters degree (Dipl.-Ing.) in 1989 from the University of Kaiserslautern (with honours). From 1989 to 1993, he was PhD student at the University of Saarland, Saarbruecken, Germany from where he received his PhD degree (summa cum laude). His PhD thesis entitled `A Compiler for Application-Specific Processor Arrays' summarizes his work on extending techniques for mapping computation intensive algorithms onto dedicated VLSI processor arrays.

In 1994, Jürgen Teich joined the DSP design group of Prof. E. A. Lee and D.G. Messerschmitt in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) at UC Berkeley where he was working in the Ptolemy project (PostDoc).

From 1995 to 1998, he held a position at Institute of Computer Engineering and Communications Networks Laboratory (TIK) at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, finishing his Habilitation entitled `Synthesis and Optimization of Digital Hardware/ Software Systems' in 1996.

From 1998 to 2002, he was full professor in the Electrical Engineering and Information Technology department of the University of Paderborn, holding a chair in Computer Engineering.

Since 2003, he is appointed full professor in the Department of Computer Science of the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg holding a chair in Hardware/Software Co-Design.

Jürgen Teich has been a member of multiple program committees of well-known conferences and workshops. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and author of two textbooks on Co-Design edited by Springer in 2007 and 2010, respectively. His research interests are massive parallelism, embedded systems, Co-Design, and computer architecture.

Since 2004, Jürgen Teich is also an elected reviewer for the German Research Foundation (DFG) for the area of Computer Architecture and Embedded Systems. Prof. Teich is involved in many interdisciplinary national basic research projects as well as industrial projects. He is supervising more than 30 PhD students currenty. Since 2010, he is also the coordinator of the Transregional Research Center 89 on Invasive Computing funded by the DFG.
