From 2004 to 2008 I worked at the Embedded Software Laboratory at RWTH Aachen. My research focus was on the safety and reliability in embedded real-time systems on the one hand and the different hardware platforms used in embedded systems on the other hand. Within the scope of my doctoral thesis, I studied the influence of these different hardware platforms on the according software with respect to safety and reliability. In this context, different empirical evaluations were an important part of my work.
