+### Description
+
+After having been associated with the KWARC research group at Jacobs University Bremen
+under guidance of Prof.Dr. Michael Kohlhase (I know the name coincidence is amazing ...)
+for a couple of years, since July 2011 I'm actually a working member of the group. Before
+I worked at the Safe-and-Secure-Systems department at DFKI (German Research Institue for
+Artificial Intelligence) in Bremen. Inbetween I have been "lent" to zbMATH (Zentralblatt
+Mathematik, Berlin) for a design study about search interfaces for mathematicians.
+
+I am still very fond of my previous research group [dimeb](http://www.dimeb.de)
+(Digital Media in Education) at the University of Bremen under guidance of Prof. Dr. Heidi
+Schelhowe.
+
+My research interest lies in the intersection between the fields of "Semantic
+Web" and "Human-Computer-Interaction", especially Interaction Design for semantic data
+("Semantic Interaction Design"), with a focus on educational environments. I have
+developed the software system [CPoint](http://www.kwarc.info/projects/CPoint/),
+an invasive, semantic work environment in MS PowerPoint, which allows to enrich PPT
+documents semantically, which makes use of all this great semantic added-value
+information, and which provides conversion facilities for transcribing such semantically
+enhanced PPT documents into [OMDoc](http://www.omdoc.org) files.
+
+I developed the SACHS project, in which we built an invasive, semantic help system for the
+DFKI-internal Controlling System in MS Excel. Some prototypically implemented semantic
+interactions turned out to be quite nice, for example, "semantic navigation".
+
+At the moment I work for the SiSsI project, in which we explore some more
+human-spreadsheet interactions and decouple our semantic services from specific
+spreadsheet players like MS Excel.
+
+At the end of last year I started to make use of Kelly's Repertory Grid Technique. The
+example data set for the MathUI'13 paper you can find [here](http://www.kwarc.info/ako/ProcrustesAnalysis).
