Staff

In late 2012, I joined Codetrails, a TU Darmstadt spin-off commercializing some of the ideas behind the Eclipse Code Recommenders research project.

Prior to that, my research focus was on virtual machines and their interaction with high-level languages. In that area I was both interested in optimizations for high-level languages performed by a VM and in leveraging these languages for low-level tasks inside a VM itself.

I was and still am also interested in sound experimental methodology, both from a practitioner's point of view and from a teacher's.

I am a member of the German Physical Society, the Vereinigung von Freunden der TU Darmstadt e.V., and the Förderverein FS-Mathe.

Eclipse Code Recommenders

Since 2013, I am a committer to the Eclipse Code Recommenders Project, which aims to turn your IDE into an Intelligent Development environment. Based on data-mined knowledge about how others use an API, Eclipse Code Recommenders offers you assistance, e.g., in the form of intelligent code completion or extended documentation.

Scala Benchmarking Project

I am the founder of the Scala Benchmarking Project, whose goal is it to characterize the performance of Scala programs on modern Java VMs. The project's initial idea has been presented at the Work-in-Progress session of PPPJ 2010, where the corresponding poster (opens in new tab) won the Best Poster Award. The project culminated in my PhD thesis on Design and Analysis of a Scala Benchmark Suite for the Java Virtual Machine, with a successful defense in October 2012.

DaCapo Benchmark Suite

Since 2012, I am a committer to the DaCapo Benchmark Suite, which develops a Java benchmark suite suitable for VM research.

DiSL Project

Since 2012, I am a committer to the DiSL project, which develops a domain-specific language for dynamic analyses and program instrumentation. I have been an early adopter of DiSL and contributed several case studies.

TamiFlex Project

Since 2010, I am a committer to the TamiFlex project, which tames Java reflection (and dynamic class-loading) to aid static analyses.

ALIA4J Project

Since 2008, I am a committer to the ALIA4J project, which develops an Advanced-dispatching Language Implementation Architecture for Java virtual machines. My primary contributions are an optimized, redundancy-free execution model for advanced dispatch and SiRIn, the site-based reference implementation thereof.

CASED Project

From 2008 to 2012, I was enrolled in the graduate school of the Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED), working on different subprojects in the area of security monitoring of programs to provide secure services.

From 2007 to 2008, I have been involved with the European Network of Excellence on Aspect-Oriented Software Development working as part of the Execution Models task of the Languages Lab, an activity which spawned the ALIA4J project.
