I am a Research Assistant at the Institute of Air Transportation Systems at German Aerospace Center (DLR). My current research focus is on studying the interdependence of function and structure in complex systems of flow in general and air transport in particular. Reducing environmental impact while coping with growth and improving system performance are the current "hot topics" in this field. In my research, I apply ideas from complex network theory, systems thinking and optimization.

I got my Master from Purdue University in the field of aeronautics and astronautics where I performed research on genetic and memetic algorithms.

I also like skiing, playing bass guitar, travelling and South African red wine.
