About Me

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. Currently, I am working at the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology as a member of the "Virtual Workers" project team.

My primary research interests are directed towards model-driven development of VR and AR applications.
