Research:

My main focus lies in the design and development of distributed information systems.

One of my current projects is on adaptability in multi-tier information systems in an aim to build next-generation middleware systems that provide both fault-tolerance and scalability for data-intensive applications.
I am also heavily involved in a research project investigating distribution and persistence in massively multiplayer games.
Furthermore, I am generally interested in data management in peer-to-peer systems.

Detailed information can be found at the webpage of the Distributed Information Systems Group

The lab is currently looking for master and PhD students!
