I am an Associate Professor of Stochastics in the Department of Mathematics at Clausthal University of Technology, substituting the Chair for Stochastic Models in the Engineering Sciences. I studied Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Bonn where I received my diploma in Computer Science and my Dr. rer. nat. degree in 1998 and 2004, respectively. From 1998 to 2003, I was a Scientific Member in the Institute of Computer Science IV at the University of Bonn, Group for Operating Systems and Stochastic Modeling. Since 2004, I have been an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Information Systems and Applied Computer Science at the University of Bamberg, Group for Communication Services, Telecommunication Systems and Computer Networks, where I am now since April 2009 on a temporary leave for my current position. In May 2005, I was also as a Visiting Professor in the Information Engineering Department at the University of Pisa (Italy), and in March 2007 and March 2009 as a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Telematics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim.
