Dr. Victor Pankratius

Dr. Pankratius heads the Multicore Software Engineering investigator group at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. He also serves as the elected chairman of the Software Engineering for parallel Systems (SEPARS) international working group. Dr. Pankratius' current research concentrates on how to make parallel programming easier. His work covers a range of research topics including auto-tuning, language design, debugging, software engineering in the cloud, and empirical studies. Dr. Pankratius received the Intel Leadership Award and holds a Ph.D. with distinction from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. He received a Diplom degree (M.S.) in Business Computer Science best of class from the University of Münster, Germany and a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems from the same university. He served as a reviewer in many international conferences and journals, and co-organized international conferences and workshops, e.g., the series on Multicore Software Engineering co-located with ICSE. He is a member of the ACM, IEEE, HiPEAC, and the German Computer Science Society. Paper outlining my research
