PROFILE:

Markus Fromherz
Vice President, Director of Intelligent Systems Laboratory

Dr. Markus Fromherz directs PARC's Intelligent Systems Laboratory, which develops advanced information and automation systems based on intelligent user interfaces, language and image understanding, and reasoning algorithms. Applications range from business software to embedded systems to cleantech applications.

Fromherz is a Principal Engineer at PARC. He has led and contributed to several research, development, and technology transfer efforts in intelligent control systems for Xerox products, including the award-winning flagship iGen3™ digital production printing system.

Fromherz' research interests are in the domain of intelligent embedded software include constraint-based modeling; model-based planning, scheduling, and control; and model-based design analysis and optimization. He has published widely and spoken internationally and has more than 40 issued and pending patents.

Fromherz joined PARC in 1992. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science (1991) from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and his M.S. in Computer Science (1987) from ETH Zurich.
