Computer topics I encountered recently can be found in the ...

• category "computer stuff" in the blog "Spontan, wild und Kuchen!" (spontaneous, wild and cake; in German)

Computer topics I encountered in the past:

• How to implement a multithreaded webcrawler in Java
• How to recover a broken partition table with TestDisk (partially outdated)
• How to set up your own UDDI registry (outdated!)

Projects

Recent mini-projects that were created for fun or demonstration purposes:

• Game "Sulfide 2013"
• Calculate Mandelbrot-set in JavaScript or GLSL

Before joining Furtwangen University, I was working at the German National Library as project leader of the CONTENTUS project and at Lycos Europe as project leader of the ALEXANDRIA project, both part of the THESEUS research programme.

I was also working as a postdoctoral researcher at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and as a Ph.D. student at University College Dublin. Some of my past projects are:

• dam², an ontology-alignment algorithm
• Triskel, an ensemble learning algorithm
• GridWeka2, a parallelised version of the well-known Weka software
• Assam WSDL Annotator
