I'm interested in theoretical computer science, mostly in algorithms and networks. Topics of interest include
- randomized algorithms
- probabilistic analysis of algorithms (smoothed analysis homepage)
- algorithms for communication networks
- algorithmic game theory

A short CV ...
- From June 1995 to December 98, I worked towards my Ph.D. in the research group Theoretical Computer Science headed by Friedhelm Meyer auf der Heide at Paderborn University, Heinz-Nixdorf-Intistiute in Paderborn, Germany.
- From January to December 1999, I joined the theory group headed by Richard Karp at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, California.
- From January to May 2000, I stayed as visiting assistent professor at the University of Massachusetts (UMASS) in Amherst, Massachusetts.
- From June 2000 to September 2002, I was a member of the algorithms and complexity group of Kurt Mehlhorn at the Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik (MPII) in Saarbrücken, Germany (almost France).
- From October 2002 to September 2004, I joined the CS department at Dortmund University as an associate professor in the algorithms and complexity group.
- Since October 2004, I'm full professor in the CS department at RWTH Aachen University.
