Field of research / interests

I am happy to supervise theses on process mining and digitization in real estate and facility management, as well as topics related to building-related climate protection. As a supervisor I can offer you support especially in the following areas:

  • Process Mining in the construction and real estate industry
    • In the life cycle of a property
    • In building operation
    • Process Mining methods and tools
  • Data management in real estate and facility management
  • Functional programming in R
  • CAFM Systems
  • Climate protection in building operations

I am looking forward to your ideas for new research questions!

Consultation hours / Contact

Dear students, of course we want to offer you the best possible service in teaching. Therefore, you are welcome to come to our office at any time for a personal consultation. Unfortunately, we cannot promise you that we can take care of your request immediately. Therefore, we recommend that you contact us by e-mail or, in urgent cases, by telephone. In any case, you should name the course in question and describe your request clearly.

In the table below you will find a list of the courses that fall within my area of responsibility. If you have any questions about another course, please contact the respective contact person first (you can find the contact persons here).
