I've lived most of my life in Kiel, the capital of Schleswig-Holstein. You can check what is going on in Kiel on this page. Schleswig-Holstein is the northernmost state of Germany lying between the Baltic and the North Sea. I went to school and university in Kiel. I finished school in 1986 and started at university a year later after my national service. At university I studied Physics. In October 1993 I graduated as Diplom-Physiker in Theoretical Physics. I studied at the Institute for Theoretical Physics and my supervisor was Prof. F. Wagner.
In April 1993 I went to Durham for a PhD. I'd been here before to do an MSc. My supervisor was Ed Corrigan, he's moved to the Maths department at York. My research was in affine Toda field theory. Together with Alexander Iskandar and William McGhee I published a paper on breathers. Together with Darren Wilkinson I started the webserver of the Maths department in Durham, at a time when "making a list of all webservers" still seemed to be a sensible idea. Later on I maintained the informal web pages for the Maths department and those of the official pages of the CPT pages. I finished my PhD in May 1996.
From August 1996 to June 2000 I worked for Metron Technology Ltd. in Taunton as a software engineer. Metron Technology specialises in performance and capacity planning of computer systems. My main interest was the performance of databases. Also, I was one of the network administrators looking after the internal network. I have given a talk at UKCMG 99 in York and a talk and poster at UKPEW 99 in Bristol.
In July 2000 I started to work at the Department of Computing at Imperial College as a Research Associate for Peter Harrison and Tony Field on the QUAINT project.
Since then I have worked on various other projects in AESOP group.
In the web 2.0 you find me on Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, LinkedIn and Stayfriends. I have also been increasing the size of the www with use of Ashok's gallery with contributions.
