University Business

Since I left Uni, I am not teaching anymore on a regular basis. If the subject fits my research interests, I am still interested in supervision of PhD projects or in lecturing.

Organisational

At Koblenz University, I was also involved in a couple of organisational things, e.g.

  • I was elected member of the faculty board.
  • I was elected as scientific staff member in the management of the
    Computer Science Institute (until end of 2004).
  • Until spring 2002 (or so), I did co-maintain the University web service.
  • I was responsible for the web pages of the AI research group for a long time (some years)
