Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Werner has been acting professor at the SWK Chair since October 2024, taking over teaching and research activities. He studied Computer Science at TU Berlin and earned his doctorate at the Chair of Information Systems Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Tai. After completing his PhD, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at TU Berlin, where he taught courses such as Cloud Native Architecture Engineering and served as the lead of the Horizon Europe project TEADAL.

In the past, Sebastian has been involved in several research projects, including the EU project DITAS, where he investigated the management and monitoring of data streams in the cloud continuum. In 2020, he won the BMBF project Software Campus - SMILE. This project focused on the migration of data-processing analytics platforms to serverless architectures as well as the experimental measurement and further development of cloud-based applications and platforms. Through his research, years of project work, and teaching activities, he has built extensive expertise in serverless cloud computing and the design of distributed cloud applications. In April 2023, he defended his dissertation titled "Serverless Data Processing: Application Platform (Co-) Design".

Currently, Sebastian is dedicated to the topics of sustainability, maintainability, and trustworthiness in distributed application architectures, with a strong passion for tackling the challenges of the next generation of cloud computing.
