• “Canonical GTEM–Cell”

(10/1997 - 6/2002)

Project goal is to develop a model for a real GTEM–Cell based on an analytical solution for a tapered TEM–waveguide with elliptical cross section using multipole expansion in spheroconal coordinates. The combination with numerical methods like Finite Elements or the Method of Moments will allow efficient analysis of the coupling between the cell and a device under test. DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft — German National Research Foundation) funded project. Responsibilities include theoretical formulation of the basic problem suitable for the treatment with a hybrid numerical and spherical–multipole method, evaluation and (if necessary) creation of software tools for the solution of the resulting equations, and supervising graduate and undergraduate students.

• “IT and Network Management”

(11/1995 - 62002)

at the Computational Electromagnetics Group, University of Kiel and Dept. of Theoretical Electrical Engineering, University of Bochum. Responsibilities include design and implementation of the high performance computing infrastructure, maintenance and system administration, defining and employing a network security policy, and instruction, assistance, and education of users (students and colleagues).

• “TETlib”

(10/1997 - present)

• TETlib is an object-oriented library for field theory scientists with an emphasis on flexibility and quality assurance. It incorporates state of the art software engineering concepts. Joint project of Computational Electromagnetics Group, University of Kiel and Chair of Electromagnetic Theory, University of Kassel. Responsibilities include project management, class design, quality assurance, code repository maintenance, and supervision of graduate and undergraduate students working on the project.
