about me

As of September 2008, I have a joint appointment as Research Process Manager in the ATLAS group at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and Project Associate at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland (where the web was born!). I have been involved in developing collaborative tools technologies at U-M since 2001, including automated lecture recording, archiving and publishing software, and the design and deployment of video conferencing and remote teaching facilities. I have been centrally involved in the MScribe project and CARMA service. My skills include project planning and management, software development and database and server administration.

In 2001 I received an M.S. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan and started working for Professor Homer A. Neal as a member of the ATLAS Collaboratory Project. I also have a B.A. from the University of Oklahoma in German, and I speak fluent German and basic French. In my free time I enjoy travel, windsurfing, snowboarding, iceboating, climbing, swimming, listening to and collecting music and watching movies. Something interesting: I lived in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia for five years as a child!
