Research Interests

My research interests were in the beginning as research assistent in the area of automtatic classification of documents. Within the DFG projekt Daffodil this moved to the areas:

• user-oriented Digital Libraries and evaluation
• distributed information retrieval
• service-oriented architectures
• data integration
• user-oriented interactive information seeking and searching
• personalisation, recommendation and adaptivity

During my dissertation and ask task leader in DELOS Network of Excellence i started to research in the evaluation of digital libraries. The dissertation is now submitted and the defense should be done by end of May.

My complete CV can be found here: CV. Since August, 1st 2007 i am employed at the distance university Hagen, chair of Multimedia and Internet Applications.
