Thesis Supervision

During the 20 years as group leader more than 30 students successfully obtained their master and PhD degrees in physics, applied physics and computer sciences in the group. In most of the cases I delegated the direct student supervision to members of the my group. In the following a list of students for which I acted as direct supervisor:

Robert Langenberg

"Analysis and Optimization of the Offline Software of the ATLAS Experiment at CERN", co-supervisor, CERN PhD Program, PhD in 2017 at Technical University of Munich.

Johanna Fleckner

"Tracking, b-Tagging and Measurement of the b-Jet Production Cross Section with the ATLAS Detector", co-supervisor, CERN PhD Program, PhD in 2011 at University of Mainz.

Miguel Branco,

"Distributed Data Management for Large Scale Applications", co-supervisor, CERN PhD Program, PhD in 2009 at University of Southampton.

Andreas Salzburger

"Track Simulation and Reconstruction in the ATLAS experiment", co-supervisor, CERN PhD Program, PhD in 2008 at University of Innsbruck.

Lukasz Janyst

"Selected aspects of the persistent Event Data Modelfor ATLAS experiment at LHC", co-supervisor, CERN Technical Student Program, Master Thesis 2008 at Jagiellonian University.
