Current Occupation: Studying Applied System Science

Applied System Science is an environmental oriented, interdisciplinary programme with a core curriculum of mathematics and computer science courses and a minor subject selected from a range of natural, social and economic sciences.

Study interests:

Because of the spatial reference and the possible connection between social and natural sciences I chose geography as my minor subject, shifting interests from earth sciences to social and economic aspects like traffic/mobility, urban-rural relationship, sustainability, spatial distribution/segregation/diffusion.
Regarding methodology, I am interested in application of newer concepts of information technology like cellular automata, software agents systems, neuronal networks etc.
See also a list of attended courses and "Skills" section.

Further interests:

IT, soft-computing, stock market and economiy, music (choral & piano)
Background knowledge in natural sciences

Other:

Preparation of the System Science Weekend 1997, other stuff
