Since November 2007 Thomas has been an Associate Professor at the
Victoria University of Wellington.
Before that he was an Assistant Professor at the
Darmstadt University of
Technology, an Acting Professor at the Software Engineering Department of
the University of Mannheim
and the Darmstadt University
of Technology, a researcher at the University
of Kaiserslautern and a Lecturer in Computing at Staffordshire
University.
Research Interests
Thomas' research
interests include object-technology, programming languages, component architectures,
(meta-)modelling, and model-driven development.
Edutainment
Thomas was inspired to a brief science-fiction
mystery when he was thinking about metalevels for one of his courses. He
came up with the "No Shortcuts"
paradox when strolling through the streets of Darmstadt.

Good students (GPA of A- or above) can apply for the following scholarships:
Quotations
The best way to fully understand
something is to teach it to someone.
— TK
Creativity is a type of learning process
where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.
— Arthur Koestler
The single cause of all incorrect analyses
is a single cause assumption.
— TK
Languages
Java, the best argument for Smalltalk
since C++. — unknown
Java is the agonisingly slow attempt to catch up with the past. — TK
Smalltalk wins a "Dynamic
Language Shootout" competition.
Not convinced yet? Go on a tour to Squeak
or have a look at some of the available (free) Smalltalk
books.
RPL (Reverse
Polish Lisp) is a great language for programmable calculators. I'm still
using my HP-28S (HP
museum pages) and thanks to Christoph Gießelink's Emu42
emulator I can also use it on the computer.
These pages are under construction. You may want to browse my
former group pages at the Darmstadt University of Technology.
