I received my MSc in computer science summa cum laude from the University of Zurich in April 2008. Since May 2008, I work as a doctoral student and research assistant in the Software Engineering Group in the Department of Informatics at the University of Zurich. I am a member of ACM, IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and SI. 

My research interests are in the area of the Semantic Web with focus on:

• RDF-based Access to Relational Databases
• Applications of Semantic Web Technologies beyond the Web
• Linked Data, Web of Data
• Data Query and Manipulation Languages for the Semantic Web
