He leads the Real-time Embedded Software Group and acts as associate director at WatCAR for Systems and Connectivity. Sebastian Fischmeister has 15 years of research experience in safety-critical real-time embedded systems. Together with his research team, he developed the Atacama open-source implementation for real-time Ethernet, pioneered time-aware instrumentation for time-sensitive systems, and established the theory and practice for sampling-based runtime verification. Sebastian extensively collaborates with industry and built, for instance, the reference demonstrator for the ASTM F2761-09 standard on the integrated clinical environment, the APMA Connected Vehicle Technology Demonstrator (a modified Lexus RX350), and the DIME instrumentation framework. He is currently working on theory and tools for data-driven certification for connected automated vehicles.
