Gerhard Fohler has been holding the Chair for Real-time Systems at TU Kaiserslautern since 2006. He received his Dipl. Ing. and  Ph.D. degrees with honors from the TU Vienna,  Prof. Hermann Kopetz, then was with the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, USA as postdoctoral researcher. Before joining TU Kaiserslautern, he was with MDH Sweden where he was promoted to full professor.

His research is based on issues in the field of real-time, embedded systems, with emphasis on adaptive real-time systems.  Recently, it has been including related issues in real-time and control, real-time networking,  real-time media processing, and wireless sensor networks.

He has been involved in a number of EU projects,  coordinator and partner, and was core partner of the EU IST Networks-of-Excellence ARTIST. He is Chairman of the Technical Committee on Real-time Systems of Euromicro, which is responsible for ECRTS, the prime European conference on real-time systems, was member of the executive board of the real-time and embedded committees of the IEEE. He was program chair of the leading real-time conferences, and  is associate editor of Springer's Real-time System Journal. He has been serving as expert reviewer for the EU IST embedded systems unit and other funding agencies.

He has been awarded the IEEE Technical Committee on Real-time Systems award for outstanding service to the real-time systems community.
