Klaus Pohl (born 1960 as Klaus Mussgnug in Karlsruhe [1]) is a German computer scientist and Professor for Software Systems Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen, mainly known for his work in Requirements Engineering and Software product line engineering.[2][3]

Life and work

Pohl studied computer science from 1984 to 1988 at the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences and till 1989 Information Science at the University of Konstanz. He received his PhD in 1995 and habilitation in 1999 from RWTH Aachen. In addition, he worked for several years as a software architect, software developer and consultant.

Klaus Pohl is director of paluno – The Ruhr Institute for Software Technology, and full professor for Software Systems Engineering at the Institute for Computer Science and Business Information Systems (ICB) at the University of Duisburg-Essen. He is associate professor of the University of Limerick, Ireland.

From 2005 to 2007 he was the founding director of Lero – The Irish Software Engineering Research Centre.

He is also founding member of IREB e.V. (International Requirements Engineering Boards). IREB is a Non-Profit-Organisation and provider of CPRE (Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering). More than 22,000 people in more than 59 countries have passed the CPRE Foundation Level.

Pohl received several awards including the Fellow award of the German Informatics Society (GI - Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.) in 2014.

His research interests focus on digital, connected systems, requirements engineering, service-based systems and software product line engineering.
