I obtained my PhD (Dr.phil.nat.) in 1990 from the Department of Mathematics of the J.W.Goethe-Universitaet Frankfurt (Germany).
In 1995 I got my Habilitation (`venia legendi') from the Department of Mathematics of the University of Frankfurt.
During the academic year 1996-97 I was a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. In July 1997, I joined BRICS and the Department of Computer Science of Aarhus University (Aarhus, Denmark) where I became tenured associate professor in 2000. Since April 2004 I am full professor of mathematics at Technische Universität Darmstadt.

Research Interests: Logic (in particular proof theory, computability theory and constructive reasoning) with applications to mathematics and computer science, computational content of proofs, proof interpretations and their use in mathematics, functionals of higher type, approximation theory, nonlinear analysis, fixed point theory, ergodic theory, abstract Cauchy problems, convex feasibility problems.
