Prof. Dr. Sibylle Schupp

Hamburg University of Technology, Institute for Software Systems (STS)

Dr. Sibylle Schupp received her Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Tuebingen in 1996. Subsequently, she spent one year as post-doctoral researcher at Rensselaer (former: RPI) in upstate New York. In 1998, she accepted an offer for an Assistant Professorship, also at Rensselaer. In the Summer of 2002 Dr. Schupp moved to Gothenburg, Sweden, to join the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology (CTH) as Associate Professor. Since 2009 Dr. Schupp is a full professor for computer science at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and head of the Institute for Software System.

Dr. Schupp’s interests center around rigorous methods for software quality assurance, often in safety-critical contexts, which allow for formal verification of system properties. She is an associate researcher at the Alexander-von-Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG), where her focus is on privacy issues, in particular on new methods for formal reasoning about privacy properties and on innovative forms of software support for the design of privacy-preserving applications.


Prof. Dr Wolfgang Schulz

Leibniz Institut for Media Research / Hans Bredow Institut for Media Research

Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schulz is a director of the Leibniz-Institut for Media Research │ Hans-Bredow-Institut (HBI) and a professor for Media Law and Public Law including Theoretical Foundations at the Faculty of Law at the University Hamburg. In February 2012, he was also appointed director at Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society in Berlin.

His work focusses on freedom of communication and expression, problems of legal regulation with regard to media contents, questions of law in new media, above all in digital television, and the legal bases of journalism, but also the jurisprudential bases of freedom of communication and the implications of the changing public sphere on law. In addition, he works on the forms taken by the State’s functions, for instance, in the framework of concepts of “regulated self-regulation” of “informational regulation”. Many of his projects are designed internationally comparative.
