I am an Assistant Professor in the Analytics for Information Systems group at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven.
My research interests are in describing and analyzing complex and distributed systems in particular through their event data using process mining and data engineering.
Starting from a strong background in construction and analysis of distributed systems with formal models, I have over the years embraced event data as a central source for system analysis.
I am researching techniques for large-scale event data pre-processing and querying as well as discovering, synthesizing, and transforming models from event data and existing models.
One of my central themes is to analyze data and systems that are too large or complex to be understood as monolithic end-to-end processes executed in isolation, but rather require to be described and analyzed as a complex network of behavior from several different angles together.
My teaching expertise is in behavioral modeling and analysis of (distributed) systems, and in hands-on project-oriented Data Science and system design courses.

in the past
Before, I graduated in fall 2010 in the AIS group and in the Theory of Programming group at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin within the B.E.S.T programme, supported by the METRIK graduate school.
I then worked as a Post-Doc at TU Eindhoven on the EU funded ACSI project and spent several research stays at the group of David Harel at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, and the BPT group of Mathias Weske at the HPI Potsdam, Germany.
Earlier, I spent a year at the School of Computing at the National University of Singapore.
