Prof. Dr. Carsten Trinitis

Academic Career and Research Areas

Prof Trinitis' (*1965) field of research comprises high performance computer architectures (with a focus on microprocessor architectures), co-design and hardware oriented optimisations as well as computer architectures for spaceflight. On the application side, Prof Trinitis' research focuses on adapting compute intensive codes to these architectures as well as on comprehensive open source environments for simulating electrostatic fields. An additional important area of research is Ethics in Informatics.

Prof Trinitis received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 1998 from TUM. After working in the industry, he returned to TUM in 2001. From 2002 to 2010, he was also an assistant professor for History of Science at the Universität der Bundeswehr München, Germany. From 2010 to 2014, he was Full Professor of Distributed Computing at the University of Bedfordshire, United Kingdom. Since September 2021 he has been Full Professor for Computer Architecture and Operating Systems at TUM's Heilbronn campus. He is spokesman of the „Gesellschaft für Informatik und Ethik“.
