Roman Gumzej received a doctorate in computer science and informatics from the University of Maribor in 1999. He worked both in industry (Institute of Information Science, IZUM Maribor) and academia (University of Maribor), before he was appointed assistant professor at the Institute of Informatics at the University of Maribor in 2004. He was a visiting researcher at ifak e.V. Magdeburg, Germany in 2002 and at Fernuniversität in Hagen, Germany in 2007. His research interests comprise all major areas of hard real-time computing with special emphasis on operating systems, co-design and quality-of-service. He is a member of the IEEE Computer Society and has authored or co-authored several refereed book chapters.
