Publications

This list of publications is generated automatically from my bibtex file. It should therefore be up-to-date and should contain all relevant data. For a list of citations, see e.g. my Google Scholar profile or also my ACM Authorizer profile. If anything is missing, please do not hesitate to contact me. For most of the conference papers, I have also given the presentations, and you can find my associated slides here.
