Research Interests
After graduating as a M.Sc. from RWTH Aachen University, I joined COMSYS' research group on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in March/April 2016. My main research interests are in the fields of accelerated and highly-reliable data communication for CPS (especially industrial control and critical infrastructure) and low-level packet processing.
I am currently affiliated with the following projects:
- REFLEXES - A Co-Designed Architecture for In-Network Control (part of DFG SPP 1914)
- REDeFiNE - REflex-based Distributed Frequency control for power NEtworks (part of DFG SPP 1914)
- Cluster of Excellence 2023 Internet of Production (through our In-Network Processing efforts)
I have formerly also been affiliated with the following projects:
During my bachelor studies at COMSYS, I developed the VODSim BitTorrent simulation framework for ns-3. This project is currently on hold, but I still offer occasional support.
Teaching Activities
Theses
Currently available theses within our group can be found on a special RWTH-only page: Available Theses. Any open theses supervised by me can be found there. Thus, should you be interested in writing a thesis with me, please have a look at that page first. If you do not find any thesis topic there, you can also directly conact me per email; please see the link above for what would be nice of you to include in the mail.
A Few Notes to "External" Thesis Applicants
Please note that external theses (i.e., theses that are to be carried out in cooperation with an industrial partner) are subject to a rigorous selection process involving both me as a staff member, the CPS group and Professor Wehrle. Hence, contact me very early on if you want to write an external thesis with us so I can give you all required information. Your mail should include a written description of your planned project of at least 600 words, answering questions about the context and scope of the project, your plans on how to evaluate the system you want to build (note that "it works for the company" is not enough as an evaluation), and an overview (with phone numbers and email addresses) of your supervisors at the respective company.
