Welcome to my home page! You will find information about me with respect to the following subjects:
As a student of computer science, I was member of a project group which built a prototype of an extensible spatial database system called the Gral system. Within my Diploma thesis I dealt with the design of graphical user interfaces for spatial database systems and implemented a special instance of such an interface for the Gral system. In 1990 I obtained my Diploma degree in computer science from the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany.
After a one-year episode as programmer and system administrator I became "wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter" (research associate) at the FernUniversität Hagen, Germany. Here I received my Doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) from the computer science department in December 1995. The topic of my doctoral thesis was the design and implementation of spatial data types that can be integrated in any kind of extensible database system.
After that I worked between 1996 and 2001 as a "Hochschulassistent" (research assistent, postdoc) at the FernUniversität Hagen, Germany. In 2002, I joined the Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) at the University of Florida as an Assistant Professor and especially became a member of the Database Systems Research and Development Center. Since August 2008 I have been an Associate Professor.
