I was born in Munich, Germany, in 1975. I received a Master of
Science from the
University
of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA, in 1999, and a Ph.D. from the
University of Colorado

1998, I was a visiting research student with the Coding Group at the
University of Hawaii
at Manoa, USA. In the Spring semester of 2004, I was a Postdoctoral
Research
Associate, and in the Spring semester of 2008, a Visiting Associate
