I studied Computer Science and Business
Administration at the University of Mannheim from 1999 till 2004.
From 2000 till 2003, I was also a research assistant for the
Department of "Praktische Informatik IV", where I developed
features for the multimedia lecture board (
mlb). My Master's Thesis
on "Unterstützung von interaktiven Anwendungen in mobilen
Netzwerken" was advised by Martin Mauve and Bernd Lamperter from
NEC Heidelberg. In 2004, I graduated as M.S. with honors and
ranked first in class.
From 2004 till 2008, I was a research associate at the
Department of "Praktische Informatik IV". In 2008, I completed my
PhD. The title of my thesis was "Algorithms for Energy Efficiency
in Wireless Sensor Networks". During this time, I learned a lot
about research and the challenging and interesting things of
sensor networks. Besides my research interests, I had a lot to do
with graduate students and was responsible for instructing them,
mainly in classes on computer networks and multimedia technology.
Since April 2008, I am a senior technical consultant at
Senacor Technologies, trying to do research from another point of
view.
