Björn Lisper is professor in Computer Engineering at Mälardalen University since 1999, where he leads the Programming Languages research group. His current research interests are in programming language issues. He received his MSc (Engineering Physics) 1980, and Doctor of Technology (Computer Science) 1987, both from KTH, Sweden, where he also was appointed "docent" in Computer Systems (1991).  Prof. Lisper was the Chair of the COST Action IC1202 Timing Analysis on Code-Level. He has been a Core Member of the FP7 NoE ArtistDesign, where he was the leader of the timing analysis activity. He coordinated the FP7 ICT project ALL-TIMES, and the Marie Curie IAPP project APARTS. He is  a member of HiPEAC as well as IFIP WG 10.2 on Embedded Systems.

Current research interests are in programming language issues, Including static program analysis and its applications to software testing, Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) analysis, and the design of data parallel and array languages for programming of heterogenous systems with parallel accelerators.
