Short Bio

Since september 2006, he works at the Department of Computer Science, Aalborg University where he currently holds an associate professorship and leads IWIS group. Before he was an assistant professor at the same department. His research interest fall into intelligent web and information systems which includes adaptive hypertext and hypermedia, user modelling, personalization, web based systems, web services, software product lines and technology enhanced learning.

He worked as a researcher at L3S Research Center, University of Hannover, Germany from september 2002 til august 2006 in the a group of Wolfgang Nejdl. He participated in PROLEARN network of excellence as a project coordinator. He contributed to Knowledge Web and REWERSE network of excellence. He worked as a workpackage and L3S project coordinator on ELENA project where he was mainly responsible for web engineering and personalization issues.

He recieved his PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) in 2006 from University of Hannover where it was awarded "Summa cum laude". He recieved his MEng. degree in 2000 and BEng. degree in 1998 (both in Computer Science - Software Engineering) from Slovak University of Technology (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology).

In his doctoral thesis, he has developed a domain engineering framework for adaptive web applications. The framework is based on the idea that adaptive web application is a web application family where concrete instances are configured in 2 steps: at the design time and at the run time based on a dynamic and evolving user profile. The framework is based on feature models for domain analysis, collaboration diagrams for adaptive content composition design and state diagrams for adaptive navigation design used also in generators.

He was involved as teaching assistant in Principles of Software Engineering, Team Project, Database Systems, Management in Software Engineering. He also supervised several final bachelor projects, master projects and master thesis.

He participated in several industrial projects on Customer Relationship Management as consultant or senior software engineer. He has been a (certified) quality auditor of quality management systems according to ISO9001:2000.
