Introduction

Since June 2020, I work as a consultant for Valtech Mobility GmbH in Düsseldorf. Until December 2019, I was a researcher at the Chair of Communication and Distributed Systems at RWTH Aachen University. As a member of the Network Architectures group, my research focused on network protocols, their real-world deployment, the resulting performance implications, and optimization. Our group still provides protocol adoption results provided under the analytics link.
