Profile

I am studying in the master program of IT-Systems-Engineering at the Hasso-Plattner-Institute, University of Potsdam.

Additionally, I work as a student assistant at the chair of Prof. Plattner to support our ongoing research of in-memory databases.

I spent one year at SAP Labs Palo Alto, working as an intern on applications and business scenarios that benefit from the new in-memory technology. Living in the valley gave me many new insights about the IT industry and the tight coupling between the companies and the excellent universities in this area.  

While studying in the bachelors program in Potsdam I was one of the elected student representatives, which helped me to get organizational insights and to learn about the process in the university administration.
