Publications
During my time at the Institut für Informationsverarbeitung at the Leibniz University Hannover and parallel to my diploma thesis at the Institute for Applied and Numerical Mathematics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, I wrote 2 books, 13 publications and 3 international patent applications as well as some other publications.
