Research topics

Currently I coordinate the Linked Data activities at the Mannheim University Library. Beside that, I am interested in semantic search applications, graph visualizations and advanced statistical methods for quality evaluations in information retrieval.

Some additional media about my work can be found on my Homepage.


Lectures

  • HWS 2008: Digital Libraries (with Magnus Pfeffer and Heiner Stuckenschmidt)
  • FSS 2009: Knowledge Management (Wissensmanagement) (with Heiner Stuckenschmidt, Christian Meilicke and Livia Predoiu)
  • HWS 2009: Digital Libraries (with Magnus Pfeffer and Heiner Stuckenschmidt)
