Eric Bodden

Eric Bodden (born February 20, 1980 in Aachen ) is a German computer science scientist and university lecturer . He holds the chair for software technology at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at the University of Paderborn and is director of software technology and IT security at the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechatronics Design (IEM) . He is also head of the engineering department in the special research area 1119 CROSSING at the Technical University of Darmstadt .

Live and act

Eric Bodden studied computer science at RWTH Aachen University , including a year abroad at the University of Kent at Canterbury. In 2005 he graduated from RWTH Aachen University with distinction. With the topic of his diploma thesis, he won the Grand Finals of the ACM Student Research Competition.

From 2006 to 2009, Bodden did his doctorate at McGill University in the research group of Prof. Laurie Hendren on the subject of verifying finite-state properties of large-scale programs .

From 2009 to 2015 Eric Bodden worked at the Technical University of Darmstadt , initially as a postdoc in the research group of Prof. Mira Mezini , then as head of an Emmy Noether group of the DFG . Was Bodden at that time principal investigator on LOEWE -Zentrum Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED) and research group leader at the European Center for Security and Privacy by Design (EC SPRIDE) , the largest from three of the BMBF -funded centers of excellence for IT security.

Since the summer of 2013, Bodden has held a joint professorship between the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (SIT) and the Technical University of Darmstadt . At the same time, he received a Fraunhofer grant as part of the Attract program of the Fraunhofer Society . The Fraunhofer Attract funding program offers outstanding external scientists the opportunity to advance their ideas in the direction of application within an optimally equipped Fraunhofer Institute. The scientist has a budget of max. 2.5 million euros available to set up and manage a group.

Since 2016 Bodden has been head of the software engineering department at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at the University of Paderborn and since then also director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechatronic Design (IEM) .

Research priorities

In his research, Bodden deals with the topic of secure software engineering , in particular with the question of how software products can be effectively secured against external attacks before they are delivered. Above all, highly precise and highly efficient techniques of automated static and dynamic code analysis are used.

Awards

In 2014, Eric Bodden received the Heinz Maier Leibnitz Prize from the German Research Foundation , the highest award for young German scientists. In addition, he and his colleagues received second prize in the German IT Security Prize of the Horst Görtz Foundation from Neu-Anspach in 2014 and first prize in 2016, endowed with EUR 100,000.

Memberships

Bodden is a member of the BITKOM Management Club, "Excellent Member" of the ACM and the Society for Computer Science.
