Nestmann spent his childhood and youth in Memmelsdorf in Lower Franconia . After graduating from the Friedrich-Rückert-Gymnasium Ebern, which he attended from 1976 to 1985, he studied computer science between 1985 and 1991 at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg . There he then researched the fundamental principles of the implementation of concurrent programming languages ​​through formal modeling and analysis of so-called process calculi as part of his doctorate in theoretical informatics as a research assistant and completed his doctorate in 1996. From 1997 to 2000 he was a PostDoc at INRIA in Rocquencourt, France, and at BRICS in Aalborg , Denmark. In 2000 he was appointed assistant professor at the ETH in Lausanne (EPFL) , Switzerland, before moving to the Technical University of Berlin in 2005 .

Since 2005, Nestmann has been professor of the “Models and Theory of Distributed Systems” department at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Technical University of Berlin . Since 2012 he has also been the dean of studies ( vice dean for studies and teaching) of this faculty. In 2011 he took part as a DJ at the first Berlin professors night.

Nestmann is active within the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) as a “Recommended Member” of IFIP TC1 on the basics of computer science, as well as a member of the working groups WG 1.8 “Concurrency Theory” and WG 2.2 “Formal Description of Programming Concepts”. He is also active within the society for computer science , where he in 2013 the Section "Concurrency Theory" (Theory of concurrency ) co-founded and since then acts as their spokesman. In addition to these activities, Nestmann is a member of the network for PhD students and PhD students THESIS eV and was also active on its advisory board from 2004 to 2014.
