About me
I am originally a physicist who has worked for particle physics experiments in the US and Europe. I have served as founder and Managing Director of SuSE Linux Ltd., the UK branch of SuSE Linux AG (today Novell). Before this, I was Technical Manager of SuSE's US office in Oakland/California. I am today a researcher at Steinbuch Centre for Computing of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, working in the fields of Grid- and Cloud-Computing, as well as distributed parametric optimization. In order to complement my practical business knowledge, I have pursued MBA studies at Steinbeis Business Academy, covering the topic of "Open Source business models". These studies were completed with honors in February 2009.
