About me...

Biography

I was born in Graz, Austria, in April 1984, where I studied Electrical Engineering with focus on Communications between 2004 and 2009 at Graz University of Technology. After receiving my Dipl.-Ing. in November 2009, I joined the Signal Processing and Speech Communication Lab (SPSC) as a project assistant, working on a software-defined GPS receiver. In 2010 I started my PhD thesis, taking a position as a research & teaching associate in the lab. After graduating in June 2014, I joined the Institute of Communications Engineering in November 2014. Since 2018 I am a Senior Researcher at the Know-Center GmbH, and I lead its Machine Learning Group since April 2020. I serve as external lecturer at the Graz University of Technology and at the University of Graz.

My h-factor (as of April 2021) is 15, my Erdös number is 3, thanks to a joint "publication" with Wolfgang Woess in the Research News of Graz University of Technology. My Shannon distance is 4.

In my leisure time (or during the commute to and from work) I enjoy reading a good book. My other hobbies are running, Geocaching, and playing Go (~12 kyu; you can challenge me - sliver1984 - at DGS).
