Summary
Pratyush Agnihotri is a Senior Researcher and postdoctoral researcher based in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main area with a decade of experience spanning industrial software engineering and academic research in distributed systems and IoT. He holds a Master’s in Computer Science from TU Darmstadt and transitioned from roles in QA automation and mobile/VoIP development at HCL and Kobil to research positions at TU Darmstadt, TU Ilmenau, University of Groningen and now DFKI’s SAIDE Lab. His work bridges practical system engineering and rigorous research—focusing on smart cities, event-driven and distributed architectures, mobile applications, and data visualization. Comfortable both designing production-quality software and leading research projects, he has hands-on experience building sensor-backed mobile apps and secure web services. Notably, he has supported large-scale teaching operations for distributed systems courses, sharpening his ability to translate complex concepts into practical solutions. He combines an engineer’s pragmatism with academic depth to deliver reproducible research and deployable system prototypes.
