About Me

I am definitely a guy for the whole story. This means my education and practical experiences cover the process from data acquisition over data processing to final analysis results and visualizations with state of the art geoinformatic technologies.
After rewarded my diploma as Diplom-Ingenieur (FH) Surveying and Geoinformatics (∅2.1), I made high interdisciplinary working experiences as Surveying Engineer/Project Supervisor dealing with divers surveying, calculation and GIS tasks. Detailed information you get here:»Experiences.« I decided to broaden my horizon and deepen my geoinformatic knowledge with a master study program geoinformatics @ IFGI Münster that I finished 9/2015 (∅1.4). After that I worked as a software developer at Hansa Luftbild AG dealing mainly with international cadastre projects until I decided to enter a more research-oriented job as Analyst - Spatial and Geospatial Data at the Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen. Then, I was active into municipal geodata management at the city of Krefeld. There, in 2019 I got in contact with the Masterportal project. Convinced from this project I joined LGV in 2021.

Besides the interest of geo-technologies that help the user to gain meaningful, helpful data, I like environmental modelling, creating WebGIS applications, using semantic technologies, open data and open source software in order to solve real-world problems. Further »Skills&Interests«.

In my leisure time I like outdoor activities like hiking, bouldering and I am a passionate mountainbiker.

  • Master thesis: 'A Linked Data-based Web-GIS approach cancer related epidemiological application' ∅1.2
    Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Edzer Pebesma, Prof. Dr. Werner Kuhn
    The thesis examines how linked spatio-temporal data can help improve cancer cluster investigation approaches. In order to answer this question the thesis presents a prototypical tool that supports specialists and non-specialists of semantic information systems to make a first survey of cancer-suspicious regions with focus on environmental data. The developed prototype application serves as exploration and information tool for the specific epidemiological use case. The concept and first functional requirements of the prototype were defined in collaboration with the Institute of Epidemiology and Social Medicine (IES) Münster. The application development process was conducted in an agile, iterative manner. Feedback of meetings were integrated directly into the development process. Semi-structured interviews of participants with epidemiological background and expert interviews with experienced people in the field of GIS and semantic technologies evaluated qualitatively the final version of the Linked Data based prototype. One key result is that the previous unstructured recherche of cause-effect knowledge from International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) monographs is structured, linked with spatial information and can be accessed by applications. Another key results is that the presented prototype can support spatiotemporal data exploratory through Linked Data querying and background information recherche tasks by discovering related links of resources in cancer cluster investigations.

  • Diploma thesis: 'Dreidimensionale Darstellungsmöglichkeiten in Earth Browsern' ∅1.0
    The thesis deals with data aquisition techniques (photogrammetry in combination with totalstation), data processing and modelling with open software and works out in a practical part how high precision models can be achieved. Moreover it reviews the different available earth browsers and involved techniques like bundle block adjustment,KML,COLLADA, GML etc.
