Wolfgang Nebel

Wolfgang Nebel (* November 15, 1956 ) is a German computer scientist and professor of integrated circuit design at the Department of computer science at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg.

Life

Fog studied at the University of Hanover in the Department of Electrical Engineering and computer science at the TU Kaiserslautern doctorate as an employee of Reiner Hartenstein. Until 1993 he was Head of CAD - Software Development at Philips Semiconductors in Hamburg. His current area of ​​research are methods and tools for embedded systems: methods and tools for hardware / software specification and synthesis as well as energy efficiency in information and communication systems of semiconductor circuits through laptops to data centers. Fog is and was a research program director or general director of a large number of international conferences and participates in many other fora as well as in professional organization.

He is chairman of the research institute OFFIS, and co-founder, Chairman and Chief Technology Advisor of the chip Vision Design Systems AG, based in Oldenburg, San Jose and Munich. Wolfgang Nebel is a leading international expert on the design of energy-efficient microelectronic circuits and computer systems. This is an important issue, because until about the year 2025 the energy consumption of the entire electronic and cyber infrastructures (PCs, server farms, etc.) is predicted with up to nearly 50 percent of the total national energy consumption for the United States.
