Bernhard Steffen studierte Mathematik an der Christian-Albrechts Universität zu Kiel, wo er anschließend auch in der Informatik promovierte. Nach Forschungsaufenthalten am Laboratory for Foundations in Computer Science in Edinburgh und an der Universität Aarhus, wurde er 1990 an die RWTH Aachen berufen, von wo er 1993 an die Universität Passau auf den Lehrstuhl für Programmiersysteme wechselte. Seit 1997 leitet er den Lehrstuhl für Programmiersysteme und Compilerbau an der TU-Dortmund. Bernhard Steffen ist Gründer der internationalen Konferenz über Tools and Algorithm for the Conbstruction and Analysis of Systems (TACAS) und des internationalen Journals über Software Tools for Technology Transfer (STTT).
