From May 2010 to September 2011 I worked on the DFG funded SenseCast Projekt. The aim of the project is to develop new methods for context prediction in wireless sensor networks (WSN) and to utilise these for dynamic adaptation and optimisation of network behaviour. Currently I am working on the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) funded Software Campus project, with which I can push my PhD topic forwards through managing my own micro research project. My research topic in this project is VDAR - Distributed Autonomic Control Systems for Decentralized Energy Markets, which proposes hybrid approaches with distributed control loops to realize a real-time controlled energy market model through interacting with physical power systems.
My research focuses on context recognition and prediction in distributed systems and their resultant feedback control. Especially I'm working on the combination of machine learning techniques and automatic control concepts. On the application side, my major focus will be put on the theme Smart Grid and Smart City.
I am honored to take part in the Software Campus project from 2012, which is a research funding from the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research). The Software Campus is pursuing a dual strategy for the development of the IT managers of tomorrow: in parallel to the coaching by the industry partners it offers a project-oriented training of master's and doctoral students in the context of publicly funded research projects. The pilot phase of the Software Campus has been started in December 2011 with the Kick-off workshop and the sixth German national IT Summit in Munich.
I will take part in the 2012 Summer School of Young Researchers Transatlantic Academy. This year, the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (Germany) and the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science will host an interdisciplinary 5-day Young Researchers Transatlantic Academy focusing on transferable skills for doctoral students from Germany and the US with the Theme Energy. This project is financed in part by the Federal Republic of Germany's Transatlantic Program, with funds from the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry for Economics and Technology (BMWi).
I am honored as one of the Software Campus students to take part in the panel discussion of Tagung zum IT-Gipfel "Wachstum und Internationalisierung im IT-Sektor" and the seventh German national IT Summit in Essen 2012.
