He is president and CEO of the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) for Digital Engineering, dean of the Digital Engineering Faculty of the University of Potsdam (Germany), and professor for Internet Technologies and Systems.
1974-79 Christoph Meinel studied Mathematics and Computer Sciences at the Humboldt-University in Berlin where he also received his PhD degree in 1981. 1988 he defended his second doctorate (Dr. sc. nat. “Habilitation”) at the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences in Berlin.
After German reunification, he held visiting positions at the universities of Saarbrücken and Paderborn. In 1992 he was appointed full professor (C4) for computer science at the University of Trier (Germany). In that time his research activities were concentrated on computational complexity theory and efficient data structures (esp. binary decision diagrams – BDDs) for chip design.
Between 1996 and 2007 Meinel was a member of the scientific board of the IBFI Schloß Dagstuhl and speaker of the special interest group on complexity of the German computer science society Gesellschaft für Informatik.
In 2004, he was appointed scientific director and CEO of the Hasso Plattner Institute and full professor for Internet Technologies and Systems at the University of Potsdam (Germany).
