Prof. Michael Franz was an early pioneer in the areas of mobile code and dynamic compilation. His current research focuses primarily on security and efficiency aspects of mobile-code systems and on virtual machine technology in general. Other research interests of Dr. Franz and his research group include code compression, compiling for low-power usage, and programming languages and architectures for component-based software construction. Dr. Franz is the Principal Investigator on many competitive grants from the federal government, totaling almost $10M (of which more than $6M as sole PI).

Franz received a Dr. sc. techn. degree in Computer Science (advisor: Niklaus Wirth) and a Dipl. Informatik-Ing. ETH degree, both from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich. He is a Distinguished Scientist of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and a Senior Member of The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
