He also heads the “eScience” working group and held an honorary professorship at the Georg August University of Göttingen from 2019 to 2025. Since 2025, he has been a full professor of Data Science Infrastructures there.
In 2000, he completed his studies in electrical engineering at RWTH Aachen University. He then devoted himself to research in the field of distributed systems and grid computing at what is now the Jülich Supercomputing Centre and earned his doctorate on the topic of scheduling in distributed infrastructures at TU Dortmund University. At the same time, he was group leader for the “Service Computing” working group at the TU Dortmund University.
Philipp Wieder is involved in various initiatives on topics such as research data management and distributed service infrastructures. In addition to the European Open Science Cloud, this includes in particular the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), where he is co-spokesperson for the Text+ consortium. He is also responsible for numerous national and international research projects and teaches in the field of data science.
