I'm an active committer on the Lucene Java project and am currently working on realtime search. I also frequently present at ApacheCon conferences. I'm member at Apache since January 2011.My contributions to Lucene in the past include:- Payloads (ability to store metadata inline in posting lists)- Search performance improvements (lazy seeks on term.

I was the backend architect for the IBM eDiscovery Analyzer product, primarily focusing on indexing, search and scale-out.The team I worked in is spread across the entire world and we also worked closely with IBM research. Besides our reputation of innovating new cool features ourselves we had also been very successful in incorporating new research.

In the field of data mining we researched clustering algorithms, density-based ones in particular. This work resulted in my bachelor's thesis and a research paper: http://www.uni-weimar.de/medien/webis/publications/downloads/papers/stein_2005d.pdf

In my second internship at he DLR I developed a system for automatically adjusting the amperages of 10x10 VCSEL laser arrays. It consisted of a mainboard with 14 expansion slots for circuit boards that could each precisely control the amperages for 8 lasers.My work consisted of planning the entire system, board design and manual assembly of a prototype.

I worked in a group that researched the coherent coupling of vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser arrays (VCSEL). The goal was to couple multiple VCSELs coherently, so that the resulting laser beam had the maximum power density. A system to measure the power density to evaluate the quality of the coupling had to be developed.During my internship I.

While still in high school, I developed an election results presentationprogram for the Kommunalwahlen 1999 in Olsberg, Germany. The software was used on the election day at the official event in the town-hall, presenting results to hundreds of people.The program ran on 7 different machines in a network. Two projectors presented the results; one showed.
