system administration to support to projects in the area of Web-based
applications and access to resources as for example data bases. You find

I provided documentation for the NMR-spectrometer and the associated workstations. This included step-by-step guides for the operation of spectrometer, data processing from FID to presentation, troubleshooting, some documents summarizing some NMR basics and more.
I have implemented the first external Web-Pages of the ITQB. It started with
a report for the Ministry of Science, which I edited to suit the necessities
of a hyperdocument.
I write programs in C, Perl, PHP and sh.....
Computers, In General
I was involved in the maintenance of computers (UNIX type OS only) of general
interest for the ITQB. This includes administration with implementation
of new services.
These computers were the firewall, mail- and web-server, smb-file- and
print-server.
Computers, For fun
Well, I like Linux a lot. So I take Linux if it works with Linux.

Science...
Science means basically in vivo NMR, almost exclusively with cells.
I have some experience with algae, yeast and mammalian cells in the NMR tube
and used several methods to keep the cells alive while in the NMR tube.
Some infos about publications I worked on.
Other things I worked with:
For my master thesis, I built a thermostatic unit for an EPR.
Some details.
In the PhD thesis I worked on the energetic metabolism of algae. 31P-NMR was used to monitor NTP (ATP), Pi among other metabolites under various physiological conditions (light/dark, aerobic/anaerobic). Some details.
