I studied Computer Science at the Dresden University of Technology. From March 2003 until January 2008 I was a PhD student and research assistant at the University of Munich (LMU), Media Informatics Group. Until the end of 2009, I was working at the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology as a member of the "Virtual Workers" project team. Since January 2010 I am working on my own project "Roundtrip3D" (funded by the "Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft" - DFG).
My primary research interests are directed towards model-driven development of VR and AR applications.
The parts of complex interactive VR and AR applications are usually created by different author groups (e.g. 3D artists, programmers) which use different terminologies and work with completely different kinds of tools (3D authoring tools, programming tools). Thus, the integration of all software components into a working overall system poses a challenge. In a previous work, it was shown that methods of Model Driven Development (MDD) can tackle this challenge and accelerate the creation of 3D software. In order to support especially iterative aspects of the development process, in this project the applicability of so called Round-Trip Engineering techniques will be investigated for 3D applications. A second focus is on the (semi-)automatic adaptation of 3D software to different target hardware and software platforms (e.g. handhelds, desktop PCs and even CAVE-like systems) via model-driven methods.
