I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Research Group Scientific Computing, Faculty of Computer Science, University of Vienna. I have received my MSc in 2005 from the University of Vienna and my PhD in 2011 from the Vienna University of Technology, both in Business Informatics.

Currently I am leading a workpackage in the SPES Project, which is implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPE Programme and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund. I am also the principal investigator in the ABA Project, which is build on top of the results of my PhD thesis. The ABA Project is a translational research project funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT) and the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).

My research focus is on Internet Technologies and e-Science. In particular, I am interested in Service-oriented Architectures, Cloud Computing, Dataspace Paradigms, Scientific Data Management, and e-Infrastructures including all aspects related to scientific collaborations (e.g. portal and workflow technologies).

Consultation hours: by appointment

The major scientific contributions made during my PhD study have now been published by Suedwestdeutscher Verlag fuer Hochschulschriften in the monograph "Dataspace Support Platform for e-Science".

The work presented in this book focuses on scientific dataspaces, which, if applied in e-Science applications can provide a highly efficient and powerful scientific data preservation solution for e-Infrastructures. The main idea behind scientific dataspaces is to semantically enrich the existing relationship among primary and derived datasets and to preserve both, relationships and datasets within a dataspace to be reused by owners and others. This approach significantly improves assisted publishing, discovery, and reuse of primary and derived data used in scientific studies.

The book is available here.
