Marco Zimmerling

I am a full professor at the Faculty of Engineering at University of Freiburg, where I am heading the Networked Embedded Systems Lab within the Department of Computer Science. My research interests are in the area of cyber-physical systems, with a focus on wireless embedded systems. Overall, I aim at designing real systems that are provably dependable, highly adaptive, and sustainable by design.

Previously, I was a research group leader at the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden at TU Dresden. I completed my PhD in computer engineering in 2015 at ETH Zurich in the group of Lothar Thiele. I hold a diploma degree in computer science from TU Dresden. For my diploma thesis project, I visited the groups of Thiemo Voigt at RISE Kista and Per Gunningberg at Uppsala University. Taking a break from my studies, I interned at IBM for more than a year, including a six-month stay at the T.J. Watson Research Center.

You may follow me on Twitter or drop me an email at zimmerling at cs.uni-freiburg.de to contact me directly. If you would like to find out more about myself and my research, please take a look at my:

Besides research, I enjoy my three kids, running, fishing, cooking, hiking, and reading books.
