Lebenslauf |

Thomas T. Fuhrmann studied mathematical physics at
the universities of Heidelberg (Germany) and Cambridge (UK). He
additionally studied computer science at the German distance
university at Hagen. In Cambridge he specialized in general
relativity, cosmology, and black holes. His diploma thesis at
Heidelberg is on new methods in quantum field theory. During his
regular studies, Thomas also pursued his interest in the history
and philosophy of physics, and, as a teacher's assistant,
followed his passion for teaching. Owing to his outstanding
overall performance his studies were supported by the German
National Scholarship Foundation.
Having obtained his diploma with distinction, Thomas
Fuhrmann shifted his interest to more practical problems: during
an internship with the Boston Consulting Group at Munich,
Germany, he worked on models simulating the influence of
e-commerce on retail banking. And during a research stay at the
Beckman Institut at Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, he developed
Internet appliances for physics education. As consultant to the
Springer-Verlag publishing house and Systematika GmbH at
Heidelberg, Thomas contributed his e-commerce competency to
several Internet and multimedia projects. For his PhD, Thomas
combined both, his analytical capabilities and his technical
competence, and investigated object-oriented methods for computer
simulations that are suited for online education.
Since 1998 Thomas Fuhrmann works with the chair of
computer networks and multimedia technology at the University of
Mannheim. There, he is specially interested in communication
protocols that facilitate the ubiquitous access to the Internet:
satellites and mobile communications. Since as coordinator for
the technical infrastructure of the forming virtual university of
the Upper Rhine region little time remains for own teaching, he
follows his passion for teaching during summer schools for
especially gifted students.
