about
Who am I and what am I doing? My name is Philipp Andreas Baer. Since December 2004 I am a scientific researcher at the Distributed Systems Group at the University of Kassel, Germany. Kassel is located approximately in the middle of Germany. It is surrounded by an impressive dead area (about 200km), a kind of green-belt. Even though the city is more ugly than nice, an alarmingly large number of inhabitants I have met may be classified as dumb, and the University is a bit weird and chaotic, I will finish my Ph.D by the end of 2008. I’ve already handed in the dissertation. You may have a look at the pages I dedicated to my dissertation.
In 2005 I founded the Carpe Noctem Robotic Soccer team together with my colleague Roland Reichle. I lead the team from 2005 to 2008. For the RoboCup German Open 2008 I was appointed chair of the Middle Size League.
From 1999 to 2004 I was enrolled in the Computer Science programme of the Faculty of Computer Science (now Faculty of Engineering and Computer Sciences) at the University of Ulm, Germany. Ulm is located about 100km north of the Lake Constance (Bodensee). You may have a look at the pages I dedicated to my diploma thesis.
From 2001 to 2004 I was a member of the Ulm Sparrows RoboCup team. During that time I took care of the computer installation in our robotic laboratory and the configuration of our robots. I was further responsible for robot communication and implemented an efficient group communication approach based on IP multicast (NotifyMulticast). It is part of the robot middleware Miro.
My research interests include robotics, networking, computer security, and operating systems. I like taking photos. Other hobbies or whatever else relating to my private life are not of interest here.
