Dr. Isabella Stilkerich

From 2010-2016, I was a member of the research staff at the Department of Computer Science 4 (Distributed Systems and Operating Systems) at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Since February 2016, I have worked for Schaeffler Technologies (Mechatronics department, electrical drives) in Herzogenaurach, Germany, as a Software-Engineering Expert and researcher for functional-safety-, multicore- and software-architecture-related topics. I also teach software- and systems-engineering topics at Schaeffler Academy and Method Park.

Research and Professional Activities

ARAMiS II: Software architect, researcher and technical project instructor at Schaeffler's electrical-drive-system use case within the follow-up project Automotive Railway Avionics Multicore Systems (ARAMiS II). Our work is funded within ARAMiS II by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) with the funding ID 01IS16025. More information on our work can be found in the presentation held in the Reliable Real-Time Systems lecture. The publication list of the project can be found here.
KESO: A Multi-JVM for Embedded Real-Time Systems
DanceOS: Dependability Aspects in Configurable Embedded Operating Systems
ergoo: Erlangen Research Group on Distributed Objects and Operating Systems
iSAQB: Software architect at the International Software Architecture Qualification Board
Assessor for the iSAQB Certified Professional for Software Architecture - Advanced Level modules (e.g., Safety-Critical Embedded Systems) at iSQI, cert-IT, GASQ and Future Network
Trainings: Trainer for system- and software-engineering-related topics
Reviewer: Workshop on Programming Languages and Operating Systems (PLOS) 2011, USENIX Annual Technical Conference (ATC) 2012, European Dependable Computing Conference (EDCC) 2012, International Conference on Languages, Compilers, Tools and Theory for Embedded Systems (LCTES) 2014, ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS).

I am also interested in the Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR), system-architecture topics, functional safety, cybersecurity, physics, programming languages and compilers. From 2009-2010, I was an active member of the AUTOSAR mode-management working group and I made contributions to the AUTOSAR 4.0 specification. I received the BaCaTec scholarship and was part of the research group of Prof. Michael Franz and Andreas Gal (compiler squad) at the University of California, Irvine (USA) in 2005/06. Here is my full CV and Researchgate profile.

Keep your attitude. I have my own. -- Garfield
