Christian Schulte is a professor of computer science at the unit Software and Computer Systems, School of Information and Communication Technology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. He is also program director for the graduate program "Information and Communication Technology". He co-manages SCALE the KTH-SICS Collaboration in Scalabale Computing Systems for KTH.
Christian also works as expert researcher at the Computer Systems Laboratory of the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS).
Before joining KTH in 2002, he got a diploma in computer science from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany (1992), worked as a researcher and project leader at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) (1992-1997) and as a researcher at Saarland University, Germany (1997-2002), from which he also obtained a doctoral degree in engineering (2001). At KTH, he earned a docent degree in computer systems in 2009.
His research interests include constraint programming, programming systems, and distributed systems.
His current research focus is on constraint-based compilation and on models, architectures, and implementation techniques for constraint programming systems. He is heading the development of Gecode as an attempt to construct an open, free, portable, accessible, and efficient environment for developing constraint-based systems and applications.
