Career:

I was born 1972 in the northern part of Germany near to the coast. Sometime and somehow I got a ticket to Karlsruhe. There, I studied Electrical Engineering in the field of Biomedical Engineering. From 1998 to 2001 I was a member of the staff at the Institute for Biomedical Engineering at the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) and worked as a research assistant. My PhD was about "Methods for Determination of Three-dimensional Intracardial and Extracorporal Electrode Positions". In 2001, I joined the software development team at Polytec GmbH in Waldbronn near to Karlsruhe. Since 2006, I work at Siemens Healthcare Sector in Erlangen near to Nürnberg. Additionally, since 2009, I am a guest lecturer for Digital Image Processing at the School of Engineering and Architecture in Heidelberg.

Leasure Time:

From time to time I step on my bike for a ride through the Franconian Switzerland.

It is a Yamaha FZ6 ABS from 2007 (Model 2006). Is is a so called touring bike. The motorcycle has a liquid-cooled inline 4-cylinder DOHC motor, 16 valves, a cubic capacity of 600cc and 98 horse powers at 12000 rpm. A so called DOHC (dual overhead cam) is characterized by two camshafts being located within the cylinder head, one for inlet and one for exhaust valves.
