Current Areas of Work
Since September 2001, I have been working for the Technologies for Electronic Documents (TED) group at CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences (CMIS) in Melbourne, Australia. Future information on my work and publications will be found on my TED homepage.
Past Work
Before moving to Melbourne, I was a research assistant and ph.D. student with the Information Systems Group, Department of Computer Science, Aachen University of Technology (RWTH Aachen), Germany, from 1994 - 2001.
Selected Projects
SunSITE Central Europe at RWTH Aachen (1994 - 2001)
Since 1994, RWTH Aachen has been a member of the SunSITE Project, and I was the editor-in-chief of this site until March 2001. Besides providing public domain software, and information of general interest, our Sun SITE aims at supporting cooperation within the scientific community.
Regionale Kooperationskompetenz (1996 - 1999)
Together with the Technikzentrum Lübeck, isf München, Plato GmbH Lübeck, and CRC Lübeck, we were involved in a project aiming at supporting cooperation between 10 SMEs in Northern Germany. More information (in German) can be found at TZL Lübeck.
SNOMED (1995 - 1999)
From 1995 to 1999, I was involved in the SNOMED project, dealing with the translation of SNOMED, the Systematized Nomenclature of Human and Veterinary Medicine, into German.
SFB 380: Asymmetric syntheses with chemical and biological methods (1994 - 1996)
In cooperation with the Lehrstuhl II für Organische Chemie (Organic Chemistry) at RWTH Aachen, we have developed a prototypical computer support for chemists applying the Isoinversion Principle. The system prototype consists of an evaluation component that calculates the Eyring and Isoinversion plots from measured values and a database for storing and querying these values together with (hopefully) useful information.

Theses
Adaptive Computer-Supported Analysis of Cooperative Processes (2000)
I have finished and successfully defended my ph.D thesis (Dissertation) on Multi-Perspective Modeling and Analysis of Cooperative Processes.
Hypertext (1995)
I have written my Magisterarbeit (Master's thesis) on hypertext production and reception as compared to the production and reception of linear text.
Computer Support for Quality Management (1993)
In my Diplomarbeit (Master's thesis), I have developed a concept for computer support for Quality Function Deployment, a product planning method that was developed in Japan in the 1960s.
