Me and my Research:

Hi,
my name is Marcus Völp. I am an associate professor for Resilient Computing in Cyber-Physical and Embedded Systems and head of the CritiX – Critical and Extreme Security and Dependability Research Group @ SnT. My research interests include:

  • ultra-reliable operating systems
  • fault and intrusion tolerant real-time, embedded and cyber-physical systems
  • intransitive trust relationships, and
  • hierarchical hybridization

In particular, I’m interested how properties of distributed systems can be leveraged in the small to construct highly resilient and dependable distributed systems-on-a-chip and how findings at this small scale can help to build better systems in the large.

Academic Areas:

  • Security
  • Dependability
  • Resilience
  • Fault and Intrusion Tolerance
  • Operating Systems
  • Microkernel-based Systems
  • Real-time and Embedded Systems
  • Cyber-physical Systems

Selected Keynotes:

  • “Sustainable Safety and Security - Or how to survive your cooperative vehicles being hacked”, DistriNet Seminar, KU Leuven, Dec. 2, 2019
  • “Car hacks vs. HealthTech hacks - what both have in common and how to survive them!”, Luxinnovation - Cybersecurity for successful innovation: Challenges and tools, Oct. 23, 2019
  • “Partitioning Multi-/Many-Core SoCs to Tolerate Vulnerabilities, Faults, Attacks and Intrusions”, Intel academic talks seminar, May. 15, 2019
     
  • “Hypervisor Security - From virtualization, over split applications, to intrusion tolerant microhypervisors”, Intel academic talks seminar, Nov. 21, 2018
  • “Münchhausen – Towards Hypervisor-Level Fault and Intrusion Tolerance”, DI seminar, FCUL, University of Lisboa, Oct. 4, 2018
  • “Safety and security of multi-/manycores in cyber-physical systems”, TU Kaiserslautern, Dec. 2017
  • “From tamed heterogeneous cores to system wide intrusion tolerance”, FAU Erlangen, Sept. 2016
  • “Why operating-system developers write barbaric code and how to verify it none the less.”, CMU-CSD-CMACS Seminar, Carnegie Mellon University, April 4, 2012

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Marcus Völp is Chief Scientist II (Associate Professor) for Resilient Computing in Cyber-Physical and Embedded Systems on May 15, 2020. He received his PhD from TU Dresden, lead the ESF Young Researcher Group IMData and was research group leader in the cluster of excellence Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden. His research interests include methods for constructing and verifying microkernel- and microhypervisor-based systems that simultaneously meet stringent security, safety, real-time and dependability guarantees. Recently, he started investigating the security of manycore architectures and how Intel SGX can be improved to deliver better security guarantees. He is author of 33 peer-refereed publications at international conferences and journals and inventor in 9 patents. See also: https://scholar.google.de/citations?user=yszaBO0AAAAJ&hl=de&oi=ao

Prof. Völp was visiting scholar at the Logical Systems Lab of the Carnegie Mellon University, headed by Prof. André Platzer. His teaching abilities are documented in several lectures on microkernel-based systems, real-time systems and reliability, including a course on the Construction and Verification of Cyber-Physical Systems, which he devised from scratch. He supervised several Master theses and was co-supervisor of six PhD students before he assumed supervisor responsibilities of Ms. Inês Pinto Gouveia and joint supervision of Ms. Kristin Krüger (TU Kaiserslautern) and Mr. Fritz Adler (KU Leuven). Past funding as PI includes the FNR Core Jr. project HyLIT, the H2020 – ICT 01-2019 – CPSoS project Admorph and the Cost Action CERCIRAS. In addition, Dr. Völp participates as Co-PI in the national and international projects GenoMask, ThreatAdapt, ICRI-CARS and the H2020-CyberSec projects Sparta and CyberSec4EU. Prof. Völp served as PC chair in the 32nd Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2020).
