## Why They Matter
Thies Pfeiffer’s career is embedded in the academic infrastructure that advances computer science through research, teaching, and publication. His doctorate from Bielefeld University and subsequent academic appointments indicate sustained contributions to scholarly activity and higher education. The wide range of authority and bibliographic identifiers (ORCID, DBLP, Scopus, Google Scholar, ACM DL, ISNI, VIAF, GND, WorldCat) demonstrates that his work is recorded, discoverable, and cited within the scholarly ecosystem. This discoverability supports reproducibility, citation tracking, and knowledge dissemination; it also enables colleagues, students, and librarians to reliably attribute and locate his outputs. As a professor at Hochschule Emden/Leer since 2019, he occupies a role that links research production with teaching and curriculum development. Without such a documented academic presence and the infrastructure linking his outputs, tracing his publications and understanding his scholarly contributions would be more difficult for the research community.
