I am a post-doctoral researcher at the Software Technology Group of the Technical University Darmstadt, Germany. I am funded through, and doing research with CASED, in the research area “Secure Services”. Within cased, I am coordinating the local Graduate School.

As a graduate student, I pursued my doctoral studies at the Sable Research Group at McGill University. During this time, I was the "Representative of Canada" in the North American Alumni Association of RWTH Aachen University.

I am the chief maintainer of the Soot program analysis and optimization framework and a contributer to the AspectBench Compiler, the open research compiler for AspectJ. Click here to find out more about my current research.

During my time in Montreal, I was further involved in the development of BzzzClip, a new social network for the video advertising business, developed by Emage Media. Emage Media has two product lines. BzzzCLIP is a business-oriented product designed to provide creative, low-cost video production to business. Bzzzy.TV is oriented towards the educational and institutional markets, focusing on secure, mentored focused social networking in a video-production environment.

A bit of history

I was born at Übach-Palenberg, Germany. I made my qualification 1999 and moved – after being educated as an Emergency Medical Technician for one year during my social services – to Aachen in spring 2000.

I worked for almost six years as a programmer and an agent of quality assurance for the biotech company HiTec Zang GmbH, located at Herzogenrath-Kohlscheid.

From 2001 to 2002 I had a job as an programmer for the Department for Technical Computer Science which develops a system called Wireless Information System For Deaf People On The Move (WISDOM). It is based on gesture recognition and shall enable deaf people to communicate to each and control information services other using gestures on a special featured mobile phone. My part actually is the recognition of training datasets (clustering).

For money and interest I started a small online business called Communic Arts in the November of 1999. We mainly develop PHP- and MYSQL-enabled websites but also build up LANs and telephony communication networks. I had to close this down however when I moved to Canada for my PhD degree in 2006.

From September 2002 till June 2003 I was at the University of Kent at Canterbury for studying a year abroad.

During July to September 2003 I was working at IBM UK at Hursley at the Java performance team where another student and I designed and implemented a performance monitoring framework for J9, IBM’s Java Virtual Machine. Some principles are in the process of being patented (PDF).

From 2004 to 2005, I used to be a member of the Microsoft Student Partner program, representing the RWTH Aachen University. In about the same time I worked for Q2Web, a small Duesseldorf-based company. For Q2Web I helped design and implement a caching system for PDAs that allows not only offline reading of articles but also offline editing and posting.

From 2006 to 2009 I was a Graduate Student at McGill. University, under supervision of Laurie Hendren. It’s impossible to express all the good and fun times I had in Canada in just a few sentences so I won’t even attempt it…

After graduating in 2009, I returned to Germany for a PostDoc with Mira Mezini in Darmstadt. To be continued…
