Prof. Dr.-Ing. Volker joined FU Berlin in 2009. Before, he was a Research Scientist at FX Palo Alto Laboratory (CA, USA), Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of an information technology company in Omaha (NE, USA), and a Research Scientist at Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics (Darmstadt, Germany). His research interests are security and privacy in the digital age and psychologically acceptable security technology.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jochen H. Schiller is head of the Computer Systems & Telematics group. He initiated the Research Forum Public Safety and Security and is board member of the Einstein Center Digital Future responsible for the areas Digital Services & Industries. His research interests comprise communication protocols, operating systems and security in wireless, mobile, embedded systems.

László Kozma works since 2018 as Juniorprofessor at the Free University Berlin, in the Theoretical Informatics research group. He is interested in algorithms and combinatorics, focusing on the complexity of basic algorithmic problems and the efficiency and adaptive properties of data structures. He obtained his PhD from Saarland University in 2016.

Before he joined the institute in 2003, Lutz Prechelt was CTO at abaXX Technology AG, Stuttgart. He represents the teaching areas Software Engineering and Socio-Technical Systems. His research interests revolve around the software development process, in particular agile methods and in
particular the human element. Another research interest is research quality meta-research. He is the founder of Review Quality Collector.

Katinka Wolter is head of the Dependable Systems research group. The focus of her research is in measuring and evaluation of distributed computing systems.

Since 2011, Agnès Voisard has been professor for databases and information systems. Her research is mainly dealing with geographic information systems, location-based services, and event notification systems. In 1992, Agnès Voisard received her PhD from the University of Paris (Orsay)' and INRIA.

Wolfgang Mulzer studies the design and analysis of algorithms
for geometric problems. He received his PhD in Computer Science from Princeton University in 2010, under the guidance of Bernard Chazelle. After that, he became an assistant professor at FU Berlin. In 2016, he was promoted to full professor. In the past, he was worked on the complexity of the minimum weight triangulation and on fast algorithms for Delaunay triangulations.

Claudia Müller-Birn founded the working group Human-Centered Computing (HCC) after moving from Carnegie Mellon University to the FU Berlin. With her interdisciplinary team, she researches distributed socio-technical knowledge systems and develops approaches for a synergetic collaboration between humans and machines. She is committed to open knowledge in research and society.

Since 2008 Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Adrian Paschke is head of the Corporate Semantic Web group at the department of mathematics and computer science at Freie Universität Berlin and director of the Data Analytics Center at Fraunhofer FOKUS since 2016. He is director of RuleML Inc. and professorial member at the Institut für Angewandte Informatik at University of Leipzig. Till 2014 he also was associate professor at the department of information systems at the Poznan University of Economics.

Professor Landgraf studies complex intelligent systems. This includes biological model systems such as bee colonies or fish shoals and artificial systems such as neural networks or swarms of self-driving cars.

Marian Margraf studied mathematics in Kiel. After completing his doctorate he first worked as a cryptologist in the BSI and was responsible for introducing the German ID card from 2008 to 2012 at the Federal Ministry of the Interior. In 2014, Mr. Margraf received the endowment professorship of Bundesdruckerei at the FU Berlin. Since 2017, he also leads the department secure systems engineering of the Fraunhofer Institute AISEC.
