Biography

Since 2022, I am cloud database engineer at RisingWave Labs in Singapore. We are building a cloud native streaming database. Before that, I was Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science, Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington, USA.

I studied computer science in my home town at the University of Rostock, Germany. The advisor for my Master’s Thesis was Dr. Andreas Bradstädt. Afterwards, I went to Kent State University, Ohio, USA. There, I received my Ph.D. in 2017 under supervision of Dr. Feodor F. Dragan.
