Thorsten Kramp joined the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory in 2001 right after he received his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany. At the University of Kaiserslautern, he was a member of the System Software Group and worked on flexible run-time platforms for real-time computing, especially exploring the applicability and benefits of a message-driven threading model in this context. At the IBM ZRL lab, Dr. Kramp is now primarily working on embedded systems, crypto libraries, and BeepLite.
