Prof. Dr.-Ing. Eric Sax

Institut für Technik der Informationsverarbeitung (ITIV) 
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany


Head of Institute for Information Processing Technologies (ITIV) at KIT

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Eric Sax is head of the Institute of Information Processing Technology (www.itiv.kit.edu) at the Karlsruher Institute of Technology. KIT is the alma mater of Heinrich Hertz, Carl Benz, Karl Steinbuch and Hasso Plattner, famous trendsetters in industrial and technological breakthroughs. In addition, he is director at the Forschungszentrum Informatik (www.fzi.de) and the so called Hector School, the Technology Business School of KIT. His main topics of research, together with currently more than 40 PhD employees, are processes, methods and tools in systems engineering. Model based design, simulation and validation are the areas of research covering the open questions about the fitting life cycle model (Waterfall, V-Model, agile). Data driven and service oriented architectures that support the idea of machine learning are the huge field of industrial cooperation with automotive partners (Porsche, Daimler, VW, BMW, ZF, Bosch a.o.). The tight link to industry derives from the fact that Eric Sax has been responsible for E/E development at Daimler Buses world wide from 2009-2014 and before was head of E/E test engineering at the MBtech Group.
