Rate My Professor Daniel Versick

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Daniel Versick holds the Professur für Technische Informatik at NORDAKADEMIE Hochschule der Wirtschaft since 2019, where he has strengthened the field of technical informatics and serves as Studiengangsleiter for the dual Bachelor program in Technische Informatik/IT-Engineering. He studied Technical Informatics and earned his Dr.-Ing. from the University of Rostock in 2009 with the dissertation 'Verfahren und Werkzeuge zur Leistungsmessung, -analyse und -bewertung der Ein-, Ausgabeeinheiten von Rechensystemen.' At Rostock, he supervised several dissertation projects in high-performance computing and data centers.

Prior to NORDAKADEMIE, Versick worked for many years in industry as a software developer, focusing on Linux kernel development and driver development, and was responsible for operating system development at Metamako LP in Australia and Arista Networks in the USA. He taught technical informatics courses at the University of Rostock, German University in Cairo, University of Sydney, Springer-Campus, and Technical Academy Esslingen. His academic interests include operating systems in embedded systems, performance analysis of high-performance computers, low-latency networks, virtualization for scalability and energy efficiency, IT security, and further development of online laboratory education. He contributes to projects such as CrossLab for adaptable digital labs and the IT Security Laboratory built with 'Infrastructure as Code.' Versick is a member of the leadership committee of the GI/ITG specialist group 'Appliances, Personal and Smart Devices,' addressing innovative computing system architectures. Key publications include 'Combining Physical and Remote Hardware for Teaching Hardware-Oriented Programming' (2026, IEEE exp.at’25), 'It’s a marathon, not a sprint: Challenges yet to overcome for digital laboratories in education' (2024), 'Building an IT Security Laboratory for Complex Teaching Scenarios Using ‘Infrastructure as Code’' (2023, IEEE EDUCON), 'Adaptable Digital Labs - Motivation and Vision of the CrossLab Project' (2022), 'Power Consumption Estimation of CPU and Peripheral Components in Virtual Machines' (2013, ACM SIGAPP), and his 2009 dissertation.
