In 1999 I moved from Stafford (UK) where I was a Lecturer in Computing at Staffordshire University to become a member of the research group of Prof. Atkinson at the University of Kaiserslautern. After completing acting professorships at the Darmstadt University of Technology, and the Software Engineering Department of the University of Mannheim, I'm now an Assistant Professor at the Darmstadt University of Technology.

My research interests include (meta-)modeling, model-driven development, component architectures and programming languages.

Thinking about metalevels for one of my courses, inspired me to write a brief science-fiction mystery. Strolling through the streets of Darmstadt, I came up with the "No Shortcuts" paradox.

Design patterns inspired by functional programming concepts can advance object-oriented design. This thesis promotes the idea that concepts from the world of functional programming can be captured with design pattern descriptions. These can then be used to benefit from functional programming concepts with ordinary object-oriented languages. The functional patterns are evaluated for their impact on language design and a new approach to a dual-paradigm language is presented.
