Professor Volker Lindenstruth studied physics at the TU Darmstadt and received his diploma in 1989. From 1989 to 1993 he obtained his doctorate at the GSI in Darmstadt in physics and then went on to work as a postdoc for computer science for two years as Feodor v. Lynen Fellow at LBNL, USA. From 1995 to 1997, he was a member of the Scientific Staff of the UC Space Science Laboratory, USA, before founding iCore Technologies in 1997. Back in Germany since 1998 Professor Lindenstruth was leading the Department of Technical Computer Science until 2009 and accompanying the position of Director for the Kirchhoff Institute of the University of Heidelberg. In addition, since 2000 he has been the head of the ALICE HLT project (BMBF / CERN MoU) at the LHC of CERN and from 2006 to 2007 also CERN Associate. In 2005, he founded Certon Systems in Heidelberg. At FIAS he held the position of Fellow since 2007 and became a Senior Fellow soon. Furthermore, the group of High-Performance Computer Architecture of the Goethe University has been in his care since 2009. Since 2010, Professor Lindenstruth has also been involved in the board of directors of FIAS, which he is chairing since 2012.
