Uwe M. Borghoff studied computer science and mathematics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany, where he obtained his Diplom and doctoral degrees. In 1993, he was granted the venia legendi (habilitation) in computer science at TUM. In 1994, he joined Xerox Research in Grenoble, France, where he served as senior scientist, project manager, and head of the Coordination Technology group. He co-invented the Constraint-Based Knowledge Brokers, an innovative search engine architecture for querying and cross-referencing heterogeneous and multilingual databases using signed feature constraints. This technology was commercialized by Xerox under the name Ask Once and later acquired by Documentum. In 1998, Borghoff was appointed to the University of the Bundeswehr Munich, where he holds a full professorship in computer science at the Institute for Software Technology. His research focuses on digital long-term archiving and the preservation of electronic data. As part of this work, he established and continues to operate datArena on campus. From 2002-2004, he served as Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science and subsequently as Vice President from 2004 to 2024. From 2023-2024, he was Chief Information Officer. Since 2008, he has been founding director of the Campus Advanced Study Center (CASC). From 2017-2023, he served as founding director of the Center for Intelligence and Security Studies (CISS) and co-directed the Master of Intelligence and Security Studies.
