Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolHeiko Falk is a Full Professor and Institute Head at the Hamburg University of Technology, with a PhD in Computer Science and over a decade of leadership in embedded and real-time systems research. He founded and has led TUHH’s Institute of Embedded Systems since 2015, previously holding professorships at Ulm and Dortmund where his early work focused on hardware/software codesign and high-level source optimizations. His research concentrates on WCET-aware compilation and code generation techniques that tightly integrate static timing analysis—exemplified by the WCC compiler his team developed, the only known compiler to minimize worst-case execution time via integrated timing-aware optimization. Heiko has steered major European research efforts (e.g., PREDATOR, Artist network) and served as program and general chair for top conferences, combining deep technical expertise with academic leadership. Based in Hamburg, he brings a pragmatic focus on predictability and memory-hierarchy-aware optimizations for hard real-time systems, a niche that bridges theoretical analysis and production-grade compiler technology.
