Curriculum Vitae
I was born in Klagenfurt in 1971, attended school here, and went to Vienna University in 1990, where I received my master´s degree in mathematics and physics in 1996. Back in Klagenfurt, I got a university assistant position at the System Security research group at AAU during the years 1998-2001. After a year of working as a free RTLinux consultant and developer for FSMLabs Inc. in Austria, I was employed by Quant-X GmbH, St. Veit/Glan, as an HPC (High Performance Computing) consultant in 2002. Since 2003 I have been responsible for managing the server systems and networking infrastructure at ITEC, where I am also contributing to research and education. I received a PhD degree in computer science from AAU in 2017, allowing me to engage more intensively in scientific work at ITEC.
