Carl van Schaik - Research Engineer
Mr Carl van Schaik's research interests span embedded systems, operating systems, microkernels, hardware design, embedded high speed communication, and logic design. Embedded systems covers a range of topics including designing systems with power usage considerations; modular and extendable hardware and software; and reliability. Microkernels provide a way of designing modular, scalable, and reliable operating systems. Mr van Schaik's research is currently focused on various aspects of microkernel design and performance as well as virtualisation of legacy operating systems in a mostly platform-independent way. He is interested in modular embedded systems and has worked on projects integrating multiple programmable embedded modules with hot-pluggable high-speed communication channels. An interest in high-speed embedded communication ties in with his interest in logic design, which is mainly focused on developing custom systems using programmable logic devices.
