Background

I have always been interested in information technology, especially as it relates to business.

I graduated from the University of Münster, Germany, in 1998 with an undergraduate degree in Information Systems. After a brief stint with KPMG Consulting, where I focused on the SAP enterprise system, I pursued graduate studies at the University of British Columbia, finishing in 2003 with a PhD in information system. After four years as a lecturer at Victoria University of Wellington, I returned to Canada in 2007 to take a position in Information Systems at Memorial University.

Interests

My current interests focus on business process management.

I am particularly interested in using event logs from business process management systems to identify the underlying processes and to manage these processes at runtime. Because of the size of such event logs, I am turning to Big Data and Cloud Computing techniques, as well as modern Deep Learning tools.

Current Projects

I am doing interesting work on Process Management in the Big Data and Data Analytics area.

Process discovery is based on event logs from servers, or API call logs from enterprise systems. This data is rapidly increasing in volume, and increasingly distributed, for example due to load-balancing across different nodes. I am investigating how scalable, distributed computing techniques such as Map-Reduce can best be applied to process discovery, and process mining in general. Related to this is my interest in Deep Learning. Recent advances in neural network architectures and GPU computing have made process prediction from large event logs feasible.
