While my life is all centered around our wonderful family, this Web site is mostly about the job-related aspects of my life. To learn more about our family, I invite you to check out the link under the "Family" tab - or better stop by and get to know us :)
My current position is Corporate Executive and Vice President of Service Infrastructure Research at Bell Labs/Alcatel-Lucent in Holmdel, New Jersey, USA. In this role, I am leading a team of about 80 researchers in the USA, Germany, Belgium, France, and Korea. For the Spring 2005, Spring 2006 and Spring 2007 semesters, I also served as adjunct professor at Columbia University in New York, USA, teaching a graduate course on Content Networking.
My research focus has been on next-generation content networking and cloud computing solutions, multicast technologies, network architectures and protocols for services converging the Web with telephony, digital TV, messaging and other means of communications. Before I joined Bell Labs in May 1998, I worked as a Research Assistant in the High Performance Networking Group at University of Karlsruhe, Germany.
