Oliver Borchert graduated as Dipl. Informatiker FH (Computer Science) from the University of Applied Science, Wiesbaden, Germany in 2000. Since 2001, he is with the Advanced Network Technologies Division, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Gaithersburg, MD. Currently Oliver is working on Testing and Evaluation of Routing Robustness in Assurable Inter-domain Networking (TERRAIN), a project aimed to develop and test measurement techniques to characterize the effectiveness and potential limitations of new BGP robustness mechanisms.

Oliver developed and enhanced a detailed BGP vulnerability-testing simulator based on the Scalable Simulation Framework (SSF) and he was the lead engineer responsible for the design and implementation of the widely used GMPLS Lightwave Agile Switching Simulator (GLASS).

From 2000 to 2001, he was employed with CREON-LabControl AG, Germany where he worked on the integration of digital signatures and electronic records based on the CFR-21 (Part 11) standard into the commercial products. During 1998-99, he was with the Analytical Chemistry Division, NIST, Gaithersburg, MD, where he worked on laboratory automation for data collection and analysis. He received the second prize for his poster presentation on Dealing with Result Data Using a System Capability Dataset (SCD) at the LabAutomation’99 conference in San Diego.
