Short Bio

I received my Diplom in Computer Science in 2002, from TUM. I then completed the Ph.D. program at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. There, I was one of the brains juggled by Jon Crowcroft, my supervisor and pub coach. I moved on to ICIR, where I am a staff member. My research focuses on topics in network architecture, distributed systems, and network security. I'm German, though they say I have a sense of humor.
