Research

My research interests are in the field of software engineering and the application domain of ehome systems. Details on this field at the software engineering group, which has been initiated by me, can be found here:
  • eHome: Integrated eBusiness Systems in Home Automation
My dissertation is entitled "Integrated Low-Cost eHome Systems - Processes and Infrastructures" and will be published soon.

My research activities are framed by several industry cooperations. The cooperation partners are
  • RWE AG. Essen, Germany (Link)
  • ProSyst Software Gmbh, Cologne, Germany (Link)
  • Diehl AKO Stiftung & Co. KG, Wangen im Allgäu, Germany (Link)
  • inhaus GmbH, Duisburg, Germany (Link)

For academic exchange, I am a member of the graduate school GRK643 "Software for Mobile Communication Systems" (Link).


Job Experience
Beside my research work, I ran a small company which developed specialized management software especially for hospitals.

My work at the department of computer science 3 (software engineering) covered:
  • management of the eHome group
  • definition, and monitoring short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals of associated students and student workers
  • supervision of diploma theses and master theses
  • supervision of student workers
  • editorial work of the research report for the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 476 IMPROVE
  • planning and management of the two-day evaluation workshop of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 476 IMPROVE
  • aquisition and management of industry cooperations
  • aquisition of grants and subsidy
  • management of financial issues of the department of computer science 3 (software engineering)
  • management of general operation of the department of computer science 3 (software engineering)


Teaching

My teaching activities include lectures, lab courses, and seminars for students at different stages in their studies of computer science, electrical engineering, and communication science:

In addition, I participated in the information workshop for scholars 2004 (Schülerinformationstag) and orientation lectures for students at the beginning of the semester.
