I am a Computer Scientist and Postdoctoral Fellow at Berkeley Lab.
I received my Ph.D (Jan '03) from the Technical University of Vienna,
Austria, and an M.S ('97) from the University of Linz, Austria,
finishing my studies at the University of Arhus, Denmark.
I am working at the Distributed Systems Department, and am engaged
in two Global Grid Forum
Working Groups (Open
Grid Services Infrastructure and Grid
Information Services).
From '98-'02 I was a CERN fellow at the European
Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland, working
for the Grid
Data Management Group of the European
Data Grid Project (EDG). I have served on the EDG
Architecture Taskforce and as the EDG
<-> Globus Contact Person for DataGrid and Java Interfaces.
Of course, the whole journey started in the capital of the mountains,
in Innsbruck.
The full story is in my CV. Some anectodes
outline more evolutionary traces.

My research interests include Grid Computing, Peer-to-Peer Computing,
Distributed Databases, Service Discovery, Web Services as well as
Systems Architecture and Design. |
 |
Firefish - Peer-to-Peer Grid service infrastructure for access to dynamic data featuring ease-of-use, interoperability, scalability and performance (architect and lead developer) |
 |
Nux - A small, straightforward, and surprisingly effective open-source extension of the XOM XML library. Nux provides seamless W3C XQuery support. It also offers efficient and flexible pools and factories for XQueries, XSL Transforms, as well as Builders that validate against W3C XML Schemas. |
 |
Sea - A framework for a Staged Event Architecture, designed around non-blocking asynchronous communication facilities that are decoupled from the threading model chosen by any given application. Components for IP networking and in-memory communication are provided. |
 |
European Data Grid (EDG) - Next
generation computing infrastructure providing computation and analysis
of shared large-scale databases, from hundreds of TeraBytes to PetaBytes,
across widely distributed scientific communities (project member) |
 |
Spitfire
- A set of grid enabled database middleware services (architect and
lead developer). |
 |
Colt - Open Source Libraries for High Performance
Scientific and Technical Computing in Java (architect, lead developer
and maintainer). |
 |
CERN Java Infrastructure
- I am the maintainer of an extensive Java
infrastructure for some hundred products and thousands of users. |
