Biography
Wolfgang Effelsberg received my Diploma in electrical engineering in 1976 and my Dr.-Ing. degree in computer science in 1981 from the Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany. From 1981 to 1984 I worked in the United States. I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona in Tucson, then a Post-Doctoral Fellow at IBM Research in San Jose, California. In 1984 I returned to Germany where I joined IBM's newly founded European Networking Center in Heidelberg. From 1984-1989 I led a research group working on the design and implementation of communication protocols and applications for the emerging OSI networks. In 1989, I joined the University of Mannheim as a full professor of computer science where I now teach computer networks and multimedia technology.
