What our gradu­ates are do­ing today

"I completed my Master of Computer Science at Paderborn University in 2007. My Master's thesis at the Paderborn Centre for Parallel Computing (PC2) sparked my interest in the development of parallel medical algorithms in computed tomography. Because I enjoyed the work and completed it successfully, I was subsequently offered a PhD position. Now I am researching current topics in medical informatics, supervising and teaching students and working in a pleasant university environment. I can discuss the progress I have made with scientists from all over the world at themed conferences."

"I studied computer science at RWTH Aachen University from 1990 to 1997. After graduating, I worked as a research assistant at Paderborn University from 1997 to 2003 and wrote my doctoral dissertation there. From 2004 to 2006, I evaluated the introduction of new technologies for software development in practice as part of a research project at the TU Berlin. I have remained in research to this day, but have switched to industry and have been working at Siemens as a software architect since 2007. I lead research projects on distributed software systems and service-oriented architectures and transfer their results to Siemens business units."

"After studying computer science with a minor in business administration at Paderborn University, I worked as a research assistant at the Chair of Computer Science & Society for two years from 1996. I then made an application to Ericsson Deutschland GmbH, where I started as a software designer for GSN servers. I then worked in the field of Software Test & Maintenance in various roles: from tester to technical coordinator to project manager. In summer 2008, I moved to Sogeti GmbH, a consulting company specialising in software test planning, management and implementation. I am currently working there as a test manager (consultant) at Vodafone Group Services GmbH."

"I received the B. Sc. degree from National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, in 1994, the M. Sc. degree from National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, in 1996, and the Ph. D. degree from the University of Paderborn, in 2005. After obtaining my Ph. D. degree, I joined the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering of National Chung Cheng University in Taiwan. I am currently an assistant professor and lead the Computational Intelligence Laboratory where I advise three Ph. D. students and nine Master students towards research in evolutionary computation, meta-heuristic algorithms, optimisation algorithms, and artificial intelligence."
