About Thomas
I am a New York based freelance correspondent, specializing on computer science, information technology, and media. My work regularly appears in well-known science programs of the German national public radio service Deutschlandradio, such as “Forschung aktuell” (science today) and “Forschung und Gesellschaft” (science and society). Among my customers are PR departments of institutions such as the Fraunhofer Society and the German Federal Office for Information Security, as well as print and online magazines. In 2004, I co-founded the Cologne based editorial bureau Viermann, where I worked until 2013. My radio pieces and feature stories have received multiple awards.
