Research

My main research interest is Software Engineering, especially Data Integration and Process Management. I am a member of the collaborative research center IMPROVE, dealing with computer science support for development processes in chemical engineering. There, I am working on the project B2: Incremental Integration Tools. Incremental Integration Tools are used in development processes to keep dependent documents consistent to each other on the fine-grained level.

Teaching

I regularly participate in the teaching activities of our department:

• Practical training accompanying the lecture Applied Computer Science 2 (summer 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006)
• Practical training accompanying the lecture Specification of Software Systems (winter 2004)
• Lab course on using server-side java-based Web Technology (winter 2001, 2002)
• Proseminar on Web Technology (summer 2002)
• Proseminar on Object Oriented Software Construction (summer 2003)
• Seminar on Tools and Methods Supporting Development Processes (winter 2003)
