Curriculum Vitae

Klaus U. Schulz was born in 1957 in Heilbronn (Baden-Württemberg, Germany). From 1981 until 1984 he has worked as a research assistant at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Tübingen. After finishing his Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1987, he was a visiting professor at the University of Niter'oi (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil) until 1988. At the same time he turned to the field of Computer Science where he held a research- and teaching position in Computational Linguistics at the Seminar for Natural Language Systems, University of Tübingen (1986-1991). He received his "Habilitation" in Computer Science at the University of Tübingen in 1991. In the same year, he was appointed as professor for information- and language processing at the University of Munich (LMU). Since 1992, Klaus U. Schulz also occupies the position of the technical director of the "Centrum für Informations- und Sprachverarbeitung" (CIS).

The main emphasis of his work is on logical methods in computational linguistics, unification theory, and in particular on combination of constraint solving methods. Furthermore, he has worked in the area of large scale electronic dictionaries.
