Research Interests

I did my Ph.D. (dissertation: "Übersetzungsmethoden für strukturprogrammierbare Rechner" - "Compilation techniques for structurally programmable computers", in German) in this area from 1994 - 1997, at the Computer Science Department of the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. From 1997 - 2000 I held a postdoc position with Wayne Luk at the Department of Computing, Imperial College, London.

Currently, I work as a compiler developer for PACT XPP Technologies AG in Munich, Germany.

I am a member of the IEEE Computer Society and serve in the Program Committees of several international conferences and workshops on reconfigurable computing and field-programmable technology.
