Biography:Ernst-Rüdiger Olderog
Ernst-Rüdiger Olderog (born 4 June 1955) is a German computer scientist. He is a full professor at the University of Oldenburg in Oldenburg, northern Germany . He heads the Correct Systems Design (CSD) group whose research is focused on programming language theory. Their research goal is methods for the systematic development of correct software for parallel and distributed systems under real-time constraints. In 1994, Olderog was awarded the Leibnitz Prize of the German Research Foundation (DFG) for his work. He authored a number of scientific books and served as editor-in-chief of the journal Acta Informatica and as chairman of the IFIP Working Group 2.2 on Formal Description of Programming Concepts. His work in this Working Group was awarded the IFIP Silver Core in 1998.
Biography
Education and Academic Career
Olderog comes from Bredenbek in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany, and studied computer science, mathematics and logic at the University of Kiel, where he received his doctorate in 1981 supervised by Hans Langmaack on Hoare-style characterization systems for ALGOL-like programming languages.[1] After several research visits abroad (including the Programming Research Group at the University of Oxford and in Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Yorktown Heights and Saarbrücken), he habilitated also at Kiel University in 1989. Since 1989, Olderog has been based at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oldenburg. From 1995 to 2005, Olderog served as chairman of the IFIP Working Group 2.2 on Formal Description of Programming Concepts. He was editor-in-chief of the journal Acta Informatica and in 2012 became a member of the Academia Europaea. From 2012 to 2021 Olderog was Speaker of the Graduate School SCARE (I + II) and from 2017 to 2019 be was dean of the Faculty II.
