Brief Biography

Marcel Rieß holds a doctorate in engineering and was a research assistant at the Institute for Embedded Systems/Realtime Systems at the University of Ulm until October 2024. His doctorate dealt with acoustic underwater communication and the model-based development of complex systems. The focus was on model-based conceptual design as well as design space exploration (DSE) and optimization.

In addition to his research, he was active in teaching, planning and conducting courses, creating teaching materials and supervising numerous student and research assistants. Previously, he supported the Center for University Continuing Education (SAPS) at the University of Ulm in the development of modern teaching formats and didactic concepts in the field of model-based system development.

In addition to his academic background, he also acquired professional qualifications as a certified IT developer (Operative Professional, IHK Karlsruhe) and as a communications electronics technician for radio technology (IHK Munich).
