I am a scientific member of the Interdisciplinary Center for Bioinformatics (IZBI) and the Leipzig Research Centre for Civilization Diseases (LIFE) at the University of Leipzig. Moreover, I am also associated with the Database Group of the Dept. of Computer Science at the same university. Since 1999, I hold a diploma in economics (cum laude) with specialization in business informatics, logistics, and production management. In 2007, I received a Ph.D. in computer science (magna cum laude) from the University of Leipzig. Before I came back to the university in 2002, I have worked several years as an IT-Consultant and was involved in various projects in different branches and with different responsibilities during this time. Currently, my main interests consist in approaches and methods for data integration, data cleaning, and matching large ontologies, especially in bio- / medical informatics but it is not limited to that. I also have served as a PC member and co-reviewer for several conferences and journals, such as DILS 2010, DILS 2009, BTW 2009, DILS 2008, VLDB 2007, ISMB/ECCB 2007. Thank you for showing an interest in my work.
