CV:

Born on the 23. of March in 1971, I grew up in Hannover. After finishing the High-School I went to the German army (2. PanzerArtillerieLehrBattalion 95 in Munster). From 1993 to 2000 I studied Mathematik with Computer Science as a special subject at the University of Hannover. I wrote my Master's Thesisduring an SOCRATES-ERASMUSexchange program on Krete (Greece) at the ICS-Foundation of Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH). Since May 2000 working as an research assistant at the University of Frankfurt (Germany).
