I am working for DLR in the Department Software for Space Systems and Interactive Visualization. At DLR I am working on an Eclipse based framework to support our space activities. The software is used to capture and share information about future missions and spacecraft from the very first ideas until the day when it is operated in space. My research in this work focuses on model based systems engineering. Besides DLR I also worked in the frame of model based systems engineeing within the automotive, wind-energy and aerospace industry.
