Professional Information

I work as full-time Senior Key Expert at Siemens AG, Corporate Technology. My responsibilities included consulting, training, and further developing requirements engineering techniques for several operating units within Siemens.

I am co-chair of the Multimedia Requirements Engineering Workshop series. My research interests include requirements & development techniques, knowledge modeling, and cinematic communication.

I am currently a guest researcher at the Department for Applied Software Engineeringof Technische Universität München (TUM).
For four years (2001-2005), I held a a full-time research assistant position here. My responsibilities included:

  • Project Manager and Coach of Global Software Engineering (GlobalSE) projects (20-50 students developing a prototype in teams on Mac OS X) STARS, TRAMP, ARENA.
  • Leader of IT Group (ITG) of our Chair, maintaining 20 Mac OS X lab computers and supporting 20 PowerBook users
  • Coordinator of Notebook University Initiative at TUM
  • Member of Information Technology Online (ITO) project, developing multimedia Software Engineering course material for the Master's program of Information Technology at Universität Stuttgart
  • Manager of macintum, the Apple Competence Center of TUM

Publications

In high school, I wrote a paper about Douglas Adams, it's been on my homepage ever since.
