After defending my Ph.D. thesis in July 1988 at the University of Heidelberg under supervision of Prof. H.G. Dosch, I had several positions including scientific associate at TU Munich, a fellowship at CERN (Geneva) and being research assistant again at Heidelberg Univ. In February 1996, I completed my Habilitation at the University of Heidelberg. In April 1998, I was awarded a Heisenberg fellowship by the DFG, which I occupied until October 2004. During this period, I also replaced two professorships at Heidelberg Univ. and LMU Munich, I spent some time as a visiting researcher at Fermilab (USA), and I was awarded an Apl. professorship by Heidelberg Univ. in July 2003. I am employed with ICREA since April 2005. My scientific work until today includes seventy-five publications which so far received more than 4800 citations.

The "Standard Model" of particle physics until now describes all observed phenomena in its realm to an astonishing precision. Still, theoretical prejudice exists demanding physics which goes beyond it. "Beyond Standard Model" physics might be -- so far unsuccessfully -- uncovered directly by its observation, or through unveiling mismatches within the present theory. For the latter approach high precision predictions are required which necessitate a sound knowledge of the Standard Model input parameters. My main work concerns precision determinations of those parameters in the strong-interaction sector of the "Standard Model", most notably the strong coupling and the masses of "quarks", entities which are the sub-constituents of the protons and neutrons in ordinary atomic nuclei.
