I am an Interim Professor heading the Chair of Technical Informatics in the Department of Computer Science at the Clausthal University of Technology. I was also affiliated previously to the Department of Computing Science and Mathematics at the University of Passau where I headed the Chair of Sensor Technology as well as the Chair of Secured Information Systems.

I received my habilitation in energy management of large-scale Distributed Systems from the University of Passau in 2019. I obtained the Ph.D. degree in Distributed Systems from the University of Toulouse under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jean Paul Bahsoun and advised by Prof. Dr. Rachid Guerraoui in 2008. 

My research focuses on optimization and control of Distributed Systems from energy management perspective. I was work package leader of several EU FP7 projects related to data centers and technical coordinator for H2020 Electrific project related to electro-mobility. One of my scientific works received the best paper award at IEEE SustainIT 2012 conference.
