I received an MEng ("Dipl-Ing") degree from Johannes Kepler University in Austria in 1992, and a PhD degree from the University of Glasgow in 1998 for my research on the parallel implementation of functional languages. From 1999 to 2002 I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow of the Austrian Academy of Sciences at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, on architecture-independent parallelism. From 2002 to 2009 I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Theoretical Computer Science group at Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich on the EU-funded projects MRG and EmBounded. The goal of these projects was to develop an infrastructure for resource-safe computation, dealing with statically inferring resource bounds, (automatically) verifying concrete resource bounds, and certifying resource bounds by employing proof-carrying-code techniques. Since 2009 I am working at the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences of Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, first as Assistant Professor, and since 2016 as Associate Professor.
