Peter Rössler was born 1969 in Vienna. He studied Electrical Engineering at the Vienna University of Technology and graduated as Master of Science (germ. "Dipl.-Ing.") with honors in 1996. His doctoral thesis (received in 2001 with honors) discusses hardware support for control network protocols.

During his studies he was member of the technical staff of the European Forum Alpbach for almost a decade. From 1997 to 2005 he worked as a research assistant at the Institute of Computer Technology (ICT), Vienna University of Technology in teaching and research. He was co-founder and member of LOYTEC electronics GmbH, a spin-off of the Vienna University of Technology, until 2000. Besides his work at the Vienna University of Technology he was lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien since 2003. Peter Rössler is full-time employee at the Technikum Wien since 2005 where he is managing R&D projects in the field of embedded systems.

His main research interests cover topics like CPLD/FPGA design, digital ASIC design, PCB design and ESL design as well as control networks (fieldbus systems) with a focus on building automation systems. He was involved in projects with partners like, e.g., Motorola/USA, PICAR Mobile Speech Technologies/Germany, the Austrian Institute of Technology, Oregano Systems GmbH, Siemens PSE PRO CES, RISE GmbH, Logotronic GmbH or the Vienna University of Technology.

Peter Rössler is author of 50+ publications which are published in books, conference proceedings and related scientific journals. He is member of the Austrochip, ME (Microelectronics Conference) and IEEE/ASME MESA program/reviewing committees, scientific advisory board member of the ÖVE (the Austrian Electrotechnical Association), Educational Activities Officer of the IEEE Austrian Section and board member of the GMS (the Austrian Society of Microelectronic System). He has worked as a guest reviewer for conferences and journals like, for example

  • IEEE ETFA (Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation)
  • EURASIP International Journal on Embedded Systems
  • IEEE HCI (Conference on Human System Interactions)
  • IEEE ICIT (International Conference on Industrial Technology)
  • IEEE IECON (Industrial Electronics Conference)
  • IEEE INDIN (International Conference on Industrial Informatics)
  • IEEE ISIE (International Symposium on Industrial Electronics)
  • IEEE/ASME MESA (International Conference on Mechatronic and Embedded Systems and Applications)
  • IEEE OPTIM (International Conference on Optimization of Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
  • EUROMICRO SEAA (Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications)
