New Coordinates and new Homepage

Since February 1st 2008 I am a professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Luebeck. This page will not be updated anymore. For actual information look here.

Interest

The Institute of Telematics is active in the field of protocols, algorithms, and applications for communication in Networks and Distributed Systems. My focus is the support of modern structures like wireless and sensor networks in the context of Mobile and Pervasive Computing. Of special interest is the deployment of sensor networks in a wide range of applications from healthcare to civil protection.
