Short CV:
I studied Computer Science at the Faculty of Informatics at the Universität Karlsruhe from 1992 to 1997. I received the B.Sc. (Vordiplom) in August 1994 and the M.Sc. (Diplom) in May 1997. From May 1997 to July 1998 I have been a member of the research staff of the Software Engineering Group of the University of Kaiserslautern. From August 1998 till July 2001, I was a fellow of the Graduiertenkolleg "Beherrschbarkeit komplexer Systeme" at the Faculty of Informatics at the Universität Karlsruhe. After my dissertation about "Parameterised Contracts for Component Protocol Adaption" I worked from August 2001 till January 2003 as a Senior Research Scientist at the Distributed Systems Technology Centre (DSTC), Pty Ltd at the Monash University site at Melbourne, Australia. From March 2003 until January 2006, I was Juniorprofessor for Software-Engineering at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg and I was the head of the DFG Junior Research Group "Palladio", working on Procedures and Tools for constructing Component based Software Architectures with predictable properties. This project was funded in the context of the "DFG-Aktionsplan Informatik". Since February 2006, I am leading the chair for Software-Design and -Quality (SDQ) at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. In June I rejected the offer of appointment to full professor of software engineering at the University of Osnabrück. I am member of the GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik, e.V.), ACM, the IEEE and the IEEE Computer Society.
