About
Justin McGowen is a researcher at the forefront of cyber-physical systems (CPS), with a particular focus on the critical intersection of scheduling, real-time constraints, and heterogeneous computing architectures. His work addresses a fundamental challenge in autonomous systems—how to efficiently allocate tasks across diverse processing units (e.g., CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs) while ensuring strict physical requirements are met to prevent system failure. His most-cited paper, "Scheduling for Cyber-Physical Systems with Heterogeneous Processing Units under Real-World Constraints" (2024), tackles this problem head-on, proposing novel scheduling frameworks that balance performance with the unforgiving demands of real-world deployment. Though early in his career, his contributions are already shaping how engineers design schedulers for robots and self-driving cars, where a single missed deadline can have catastrophic consequences. With a growing citation footprint, McGowen is establishing himself as a key voice in the CPS community, bridging the gap between theoretical scheduling algorithms and practical, hardware-aware implementations. His work is essential reading for anyone building reliable, high-performance autonomous systems.
