October 1994 - July 1998 * Ph.D. student at the Heidelberg University under the guidance of Prof. Jäger.
July 1998 * Ph.D. degree. Title of the thesis: "Coagulation-Fragmentation Processes: Relations Between Finite Particle Systems and Differential Equations ".
July 1998 - June 2000 * Postdoc position in the Graduate College at IWR Heidelberg.
July 2000 - present * Scientific position in the SFB 359 , Heidelberg.

My scientific interests are the following:

stochastic processes
partial differential equations, semigroup theory
many particle systems and their deterministic limits
numerical simulation of stochastic processes
mathematical modelling of nucleation and clustering phenomena by stochastic or deterministic approaches
