My name is Christoph Lüders. I am a software developer and computer scientist.
I co-founded cFos Software GmbH in 1993 and cFos eMobility GmbH in 2020 (both with Martin Winkler) and am working there ever since. cFos Software is building telecommunications and networking software for Windows, including cFosSpeed, an Internet Traffic Shaping driver. cFos eMobility is developing, manufacturing, and selling an EVSE (“Wallbox” in German) for electric cars and a charging manager for load management of an unlimited number of cars.
I graduated from Universität Bonn with a diploma (equivalent to a master’s degree) in computer science under Michael Clausen in 2014.
I received a Dr. rer. nat. from University of Kassel in 2022. My advisors were Werner M. Seiler (Kassel), Thomas Sturm (Saarbrücken/Nancy), Sebastian Walcher (Aachen) and Andreas Weber (Bonn) †. I am a member of the SYMBIONT project.
My research interests are:
- chemical reaction networks,
- satisfiability modulo theories (SMT),
- computer algebra,
- machine learning,
- computer arithmetic, fast multiplication, and fast Fourier transforms.
I had a “Stiftungsfonds Johannes Kepler” scholarship in 2015/16.
Privately, I enjoy Salsa dancing (also teaching) and learning Aikido. I like knot tying.
Me on Google Scholar, dblp, and arXiv.
