We would like to welcome Lars Schütze to the Chair for Compiler Construction. Lars has a bachelor and master degrees in computer science from the TU Dresden and had worked as researcher at the Software Technology Group headed by Prof. Uwe Aßmann. Lars will work on his PhD in the context of the RoSi project, which studies role-based software infrastructures for continuos-context-sensitive systems. We are very happy to research with Lars in which ways role-based programming can be made more efficient with compiler techniques.
