Summary
Jens Krueger is an experienced HPC leader and engineer with a PhD in computer science, currently serving on the HPC Division Management Board at Fraunhofer ITWM where he heads Next Generation Computing initiatives in embedded and scalable AI, high-performance processor and system architectures, neuromorphic and quantum computing. He brings a decade-plus track record spanning GPU porting, dynamic cloud infrastructures, test-driven C++ backends for constraint programming, and leading processor development for the European Processor Initiative. Jens blends hands-on expertise across hardware-software co-design, compilers, runtimes, RISC-V, FPGAs and energy-efficient systems with program and team leadership. He also chairs the High Performance Computing group at the University of Duisburg-Essen, reflecting a sustained commitment to research-driven applied engineering. A less obvious strength is his ability to move ideas from seismic and exascale research collaborations (including Lawrence Berkeley National Lab) into practical system and chip-level implementations.
