I am a second-year graduate student at the Computer Science department at UC Berkeley. I am working with Krste Asanović and John Kubiatowicz. My main research interests are in managed language environments and operating systems. I am interested in the entire stack from the hardware to the programming systems layer.

Lately, I have been investigating the use of heterogeneous architectures for Garbage Collection (our paper "GPUs: An Opportunity for Offloading Garbage Collection" will appear at ISMM '12). I have also been involved with the Tessellation Operating System.

Before coming to UC Berkeley, I did my undergraduate degree at the University of Cambridge. In my undergraduate research, I investigated the challenges and bottlenecks of implementing a Java Virtual Machine for the Barrelfish Operating System. I was supervised by Ross McIlroy and Tim Harris from Microsoft Research, Cambridge.

During my time in high-school, I was an active participant in science and programming competitions. I was on the German team for the International Olympiad of Informatics (IOI) and represented Germany at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).
