GIP Research Fellows

did a doctorate in 1990 in theoretical physics at the university of Mainz. Moreover he is a Graduate industrial engineer. As president and spiritus rector of the GIP Research Institute he is responsible for the innovation management and the transportation of innovations in the product development of the Xyna Factory.

Dr. Reifenhäuser is a member of the German physical society (DPG), the institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) as well as the association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Furthermore he is a member of the board of trustees of the University of Applied Science in Bingen for the field of computer sciences.

did his doctorate with an interdisciplinary work in theoretical physics and theoretical computer science for the modelling of simultaneous computers at the university of Mainz.

As Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the GIP AG and chief architect of the Xyna Factory he is responsible for the technical advancement of the product and the product implementation in central customer projects.

Dr. Ebbes is member of the German physical association (DPG), the computers Society in the institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

Future & Innovation

is member of the GIP Research Institute since 1995. In this field he is interested mainly in distributed systems.

As a Senior Software Developer he is responsible for the technical realization of central components of the product and their implementation in customer projects. Stephan Gampert is a member of the German physical association (DPG).

did a doctorate with an interdisciplinary in the field of electrical engineering and information technology at the University of Technology of Darmstadt. After his university career he was active as a development engineer and manager for data nets and data service with leading telecommunication providers.

His main research focus in the GIP Research Institute lies in the field of Next Generation Networks and technologies of the Future Internet. As a Senior Consultant and Xyna Solution Architect he consults in central customer projects.

Dr. Till Neunhoeffer did a doctorate at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz in the borderline between astrophysics and particle physics at the AMANDA-telescope which is located at the South Pole. Focus of the research was the development of an innovative likelihood-based analysis-procedure in order to find neutrino point sources.

Beside his tasks as a Senior Consultant in the fields of Multi-Project Management and Business Development, he focuses in the GIP Research Institute on the identification and realization of innovations in Xyna Solutions as well as on factory-oriented production systems.

Dr. Neunhoeffer is a member of the German physical association (DPG).

did a doctorate with a work for the ATLAS experiment of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) in the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Monte Carlo simulations were realized by high energy processes which need massive I/O capacities and are very CPU-intensive, so that the aim can only be reached by use of computer clusters.

In the Research Institute his main research focuses are the aspects of high availability and scalability of server systems as well as the modelling of business processes. As a software architect he is responsible for the technical implementation of the product in customer projects.

Dr. Schroff is a member of the German physical association (DPG) and the society for computer sciences (GI). Furthermore he is an Oracle Certified Professional.

deals with the conception and realization of software systems for telecommunication suppliers for over 18 years. He has gained wide experience in the field of IP nets, IP data services, fixed network telephony and mobile communication. The areas of application reach from OSS (Operational Support Systems, e.g., IP-Provisioning) to BSS (Business Support System, e.g., Billing).

Beside his work in the Research Institute Dr. Vogel takes over a central role in the planning, specification and realization of important customer projects and is active as a Senior Consultant in consulting projects.

studied mathematics and as a minor computer sciences at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. His thesis written at the chair of Prof. Dr. Elmar Schoemer (Main research focus: Computer graphics and Algorithms) was about the intersection calculation of (non-discreet) triangular nets – main focus was the development of efficient algorithms. Beside his study he early dealt with computer graphics and software development.

As a Junior Fellow he develops intelligent GUI algorithms and forms the bridge between technical modelling and technical realization taking into account the highest demands with respect to operability and user-friendliness.

studied mathematics at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. He analyses, understands and solves complicated problems of all kind and is interested in the application possibilities of artificial intelligence (in his spare time he also likes to solve problems in strategy games).

As a Junior Fellow with main focus on software development, he realizes central nuclear functions of the Xyna Factory, e.g., in the field of workflow processing and order scheduling.
