I am a research assistant at TecO and currently finishing my PhD thesis on the subject of a model-driven approach to ubiquitous system development. My original background is from compiler construction and system architectures. My further research (also in the practical sense) interests include a broad range of topics including Service Oriented Architectures, Sensor Network Hardware and RF Protocols, Machine Learning and Context Recognition, Sensor Webs, RFID technology and ...

I was most recently participated for the KIT in the BmBF leading inovation project Aletheia dealing with information federation from the Internet of Things. Using a model driven generative aproach I designed platform independent gateway technology to include IoT device into Web Service based environments. In close collaboration with ABB we applied this technology to an industrial servicing use case.
Before that I lead TecO's work in the EU Future Emerging Technologies Project RELATE investigating sensing technologies and systems appropriate for relative collaborative positioning. In such a system, small, wireless objects perform peer-to-peer sensing and produce relative location and orientation estimates without relying on pre-existing infrastructure. The technology was applied in a real world use case to support the navigation of firefighters under bad sight conditions.
I started at TecO working EU FP6 Project CoBIs (Collaborative Business Items) that was working on the integration of several sensor network platforms in a service based architecture for business processes.
