Starting out with the education of an skilled worker in industrial electronics, I studies Computer Science ans specializes in applied CS over the following years. After a couple of years in industriy I returned to the university as a researcher, focussing on the fields of IT-based Knowledge Management and Innovation Management. Professional experiences in foreign countries include the United Kingdom, Italy and The Netherlands. I continued those research activities when moving to the Kufstein University of Applied Sciences, that I am still affiliated with. Over the years I served in a number of positions from Research Professorship to Director of Studies. Currently I am managing three academic programs. I was one of the initators of TEDxFHKufstein in 2015 and have been active there ever since.

starts in 2015 when a student of mine approached me with the idea of organizing a TEDx at our university here in Kufstein. Being familiar with TED and TEDx, I was very fond of the idea and was supporting it all along. Since it's first instantiation in 2016 (which was the first TEDx at an Austrian University of Applied Sciences) five TEDx events have been hold here in Kufstein and I've always been involved in the planning and executing of the event. My speciality among the many tasks are in the area of curation, ideation and speaker coaching.
