Short bio

Since June 2005, I am working for DoCoMo Euro-Labs in Munich, Germany. At DoCoMo, I am manager of the Ubiquitous Networking Research Group, working on several projects in the area of wired and wireless networking. From July 2003 to May 2005, I was senior researcher in the group of Prof. Jean-Yves Le Boudec at EPFL. There, my main research focus was on UWB networks and MAC layer design. I also did some work on network coding in wireless networks together with Christina Fragouli.

From May 2000 to June 2003, I was research assistant at Praktische Informatik IV, department of computer science and mathematics, University of Mannheim. I received my PhD degree (summa cum laude) in May 2003. In 1999 and 2000, I worked at the ICSI Center for Internet Research (formerly known as ACIRI) of the International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley. During that time I wrote my diploma thesis on "Equation-Based Congestion Control" and I also participated in a joint project of ICSI and DaimlerChrysler Research, Palo Alto, on simulations for mobile communication. From 1994 to 1999, I studied Wirtschaftsinformatik (a combination of computer science and business administration) at the University of Mannheim. My studies were supported by a scholarship of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes (German National Merit Foundation).
