I am student research assistant and member of the Telematics Group, University of Goettingen. From April to September 2006 I am a research visitor at the Internet Real Time Lab, Columbia University, New York, USA. My advisors are Prof. Henning Schulzrinne and Dr. Xiaoming Fu. Currently, I am involved in the following projects:

• EU FP6 IST ENABLE, where I study extensions of the IETF context transfer protocol.
• SIGNET - Extensible IP Signaling Protocols Design and Development, where I am working on GIST ethereal dissector and NAT/Firewall NSLP signaling protocol implementation and evaluation.
