Short Curriculum Vitae

Steffen Rothkugel studied Computer Science at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. After receiving his diploma in 1996, he became research assistant at the system software group of this institute. In 1997, Steffen Rothkugel changed to the University of Trier, where a new working group on system software and distributed systems has been established. In 2001, he finished his Ph.D. thesis focusing on middleware support in mobile and cellular networks.

Since 1987, Steffen Rothkugel has been active in the fields of consulting and training, both in the public as well as in the private sector. In the context of industrial experience, he has been working for different companies, including for instance Grace GmbH, Kimberly-Clark Corp., Milupa GmbH & Co. KG, VEBA AG, and more.

Steffen Rothkugel is currently active as Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Sciences, Technology and Communication in the Computer Science and Communications department at the University of Luxembourg.
