Personal record

I studied computer science and physics at the university of Kaiserslautern and recived my diploma in 1992. My master thesis was part of the project ARC-TEC at the DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence), a work on model-based program synthesis for numeric controlled milling and drilling machines. After this, I worked as a free-lance researcher with the LKI, the AI-lab of the university of Hamburg. At the LKI, I was working on methods for on-board monitoring of ship-hydraulical machines, as part of the project SHOPSY (ship operating system) funded by the BMBF. From 1994-1996, I worked at Mercedes-Benz research in Stuttgart as a Ph-D student on model-based diagnosis of car systems, partly within the Brite-EuRam Project VMBD. Since 1997, I am working with the Model-based Systems and Qualitative Reasoning Group Munich, MQM, mostly for INDIA (intelligent diagnosis for industrial applications). In this project, we develop a tool for model-aided development of service manuals for car diagnosis, in close collaboration with our application partners at BOSCH. From 01.09.98 to 01.12.98, I was staying at the Guidance & Control Laboratory of the National Space Development Agency of Japan ( NASDA) at the Tsuskuba Space Center as a STA-Fellow of the Japanese Science and Technology Corporation (JST).

The Warp Applet above was developed by Alex Rosen. Have a look at the Java source. In case you are interested in genetic algorithms, you might want to have a look at some artificially evolved creatures. This has nothing to do with my current work but is fascinating as well.
