Claudia Eckert (born 1959) is a German computer scientist specializing in middleware, computer security, malware, and the use of machine learning techniques to detect malware. She is managing director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security [de] in Garching, Germany (near Munich), and professor and chair for security in computer science in the School of Computation, Information and Technology of the Technical University of Munich.

Education and career

Eckert was born in 1959 in Duisburg. After studying computer science at the University of Bonn, she completed a Ph.D. in 1993 at the Technical University of Munich, with the dissertation Konzepte und Verfahren zur Konstruktion sicherer, verteilter Systeme.

After a professorship at the University of Bremen, she became chair for IT security at the Technische Universität Darmstadt in 2001, and headed the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology [de] in Darmstadt from 2001 to 2011. In 2008 she moved to Munich, as professor for IT security at the Technical University of Munich and head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security.

Recognition

Eckert is a member of acatech, the German Academy of Science and Engineering, and of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

She received the Bavarian Order of Merit in 2021. In 2022, Manager Magazine named Eckert to their Hall of Fame of German Research.
