Biography
Since June 2020, I work as a consultant for Valtech Mobility GmbH, with a focus on the development of technical concepts and requirements engineering in the field of connected cars and digital platforms for one of the world’s largest car manufacturers. Before, 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 was mainly focused on network protocols, their real-world deployment, the resulting performance implications, and optimization.
