Me and my Research:
Hi, my name is Marcus Völp. I am an associate professor for Resilient Computing in Cyber-Physical and Embedded Systems and head of the CritiX – Critical and Extreme Security and Dependability Research Group @ SnT. My research interests include:
ultra-reliable operating systems
fault and intrusion tolerant real-time, embedded and cyber-physical systems
intransitive trust relationships, and
hierarchical hybridization
In particular, I’m interested how properties of distributed systems can be leveraged in the small to construct highly resilient and dependable distributed systems-on-a-chip and how findings at this small scale can help to build better systems in the large.
Academic Areas:
Security
Dependability
Resilience
Fault and Intrusion Tolerance
Operating Systems
Microkernel-based Systems
Real-time and Embedded Systems
Cyber-physical Systems
