Short Bio (Curriculum Vitae)

Falko Dressler is an assistant professor leading the Autonomic Networking Group at the Department of Computer Sciences, University of Erlangen. He teaches on self-organizing sensor and actor networks, network security, and communication systems. Dr. Dressler received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree from the Dept. of Computer Sciences, University of Erlangen in 1998 and 2003, respectively. From 1998 to 2003 he worked at the Regional Computing Center at the University of Erlangen as a research assistant. In 2003, he joined the Computer Networks and Internet group at the Wilhelm-Schickard-Institute for Computer Science, University of Tuebingen. Since 2004, he is with the Computer Networks and Communication Systems group at the Department of Computer Sciences, University of Erlangen.

Dr. Dressler is an Editor for the Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks journal, the ACM/Springer Wireless Networks (WINET) journal, and the Journal of Autonomic and Trusted Computing (JoATC). He was guest editor of special issues on self-organization, autonomic networking, and bio-inspired computing and communication for IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC), Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks, and Springer Transactions on Computational Systems Biology (TCSB). Dr. Dressler was general chair of the 2nd IEEE/ACM International Conference on Bio-Inspired Models of Network, Information, and Computing Systems (IEEE/ACM Bionetics 2007). He was co-chair and TPC member of a number of international conferences and workshops organized and sponsored by ACM, IEEE, and IFIP. Dr. Dressler published two books including Self-Organization in Sensor and Actor Networks, published by Wiley in 2007. He co-authored more than 100 reviewed research papers.

Dr. Dressler is Senior Member of the IEEE (IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Computer Society), member of ACM and GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik). He is actively participating in several working groups of the IETF. His research activities are focused on (but not limited to) Autonomic Networking addressing issues in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks, Self-Organization, Bio-inspired Mechanisms, Network Security, Network Monitoring and Measurements, and Robotics.
