| We have moved to the city of Karlsruhe in the southwest of Germany in Summer 2011. | Karlsruhe |
| Berlin | I've been living in the capital of Germany from 2008 to 2011 while working at DESY in Zeuthen. |
| As a postdoc at Fermilab I enjoyed life in Naperville IL, a suburb of Chicago, for three years. | Chicago |
| Siegen | In Siegen I finished my Ph.D. thesis. |
| For 2.5 years I was on a research assignment to DESY for my Ph.D., living in Hochkamp, a beautiful suburb of the free and hanseatic city of Hamburg. | Hamburg |
| Dortmund | I spent my undergraduate years at Dortmund, which at times is called Germany's beer and/or football (i.e. soccer) capital. |
| I grew up in Dedinghausen, a small village close to the town of Lippstadt, where I went to school. | Lippstadt |
| Music | I used to be an avid tenor sax player,
but other things are keeping me busy these days. The giant: John Coltrane defined it. The modern standard: Michael Brecker. I love the soprano sound of Bill Evans. |
|
I used to play a Selmer (France) S80 Super Action Serie II tenor saxophone, Dave Guardala "M. Brecker" mouthpiece, LaVoz Medium reeds and a Winslow ligature. |
