After having received the Diploma in Computer Engineering from Technical University of Berlin, I moved to RWTH Aachen University to become a PhD student and research assistant under the supervision of Prof. James Gross and Prof. Klaus Wehrle. My field of interest covers -among other topics- reliability in wireless networks, cognitive radio, real-time communication and implementation aspects of various communication techniques, in particular the Medium Access Control and Physical layer. I graduated as Dr.-Ing. in June 2017.
