M.Sc. Mario Günzel

Mario Günzel earned his M.Sc. degree in 2019 from the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. as a student at the Chair for Design Automation of Embedded Systems at TU Dortmund University, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jian-Jia Chen.

His primary research interest lies in the field of embedded and real-time systems. Presently, his research is focused on schedulability analysis of self-suspending task sets and end-to-end timing analysis. Additionally, he is exploring analytical guarantees for probabilistic scenarios.
