The CSC07 would deepen my knowledge of the tools I have already used, but also expand it to Grid Technologies, Network and Computer Security, Data Acquisition etc. Current Work: In my diploma thesis I developed a Monte Carlo Simulation written in Fortran for single top production in association with a W-Boson as a background to Higgs production in vector boson fusion and decay into WW. For my Ph.D. thesis I turned to C++ being part of the Herwig++ development team. The goal is to implement a realistic model for the Underlying Event in Herwig++. Beside that, I am involved in the development of a parton level Monte Carlo program which is able to simulate various processes at NLO QCD.
