Biography

Currently, I am Senior Lecturer at the College of Computing and Data Science of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. From 2022 to 2025, I was cloud engineer at RisingWave Labs in Singapore. Before that, I worked as 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.
