Dr Leandro Soares Indrusiak   Lecturer in Real-Time Embedded Systems

Leandro Soares Indrusiak was born in 1974 in Santa Maria, RS, Brazil. He graduated in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) in 1995 and obtained a MSc in Computer Science from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre, in 1998. He held a tenured assistant professorship at the Informatics department of the Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS) in Uruguaiana from 1998 to 2000. His PhD research started in 2000 and extended his MSc work on design automation environments for microelectronic circuits. From 2001 to 2008 he worked as a researcher at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany, where he finished his PhD and then lead a research group on System-on-Chip design. His binational doctoral degree was jointly awarded by UFRGS and TU Darmstadt in 2003. Since October 2008, he is a permanent faculty member of University of York's Computer Science department, where he holds a lectureship in real-time embedded systems. His current research interests include on-chip multiprocessor systems, distributed embedded systems, mapping and scheduling of applications over multiprocessor and distributed platforms, adaptive and reconfigurable computing. He currently supervises five PhD students and is always keen to discuss about open problems with potential PhD candidates. He is the coordinator of three MSc programmes (MSc in Computing, MSc in Software Engineering and MSc in Information Technology), is a member of the university's Internationalisation Steering Group and serves as the department's Internationalisation Advisor.
