In close collaboration with all research areas at Know-Center I’m currently working as project leader of the DDAI Comet Module. It is a large research project with nine PhD positions and focusses on privacy-preserving, explainable, data-driven AI.

The vision of the Horizon 2020 TRUSTS project is to create a fully operational and GDPR-compliant European online data marketplace with initial use cases from the financial and telecom operator sector.

Avalanche forecasting is currently done by human experts, but the overall avalanche activity of a specific region is often unknown even though this information is very important to deliver accurate predictions. In this project we combine data from satellites together with machine learning algorithms to provide insights on avalanche activities all over the Austrian Alpine region.

In this FWF funded project we take an interdisciplinary approach to improve our understanding between glacier changes and the underlying climatic drivers. The project is based on archival data from the legendary expedition of the Graz-based researcher Alfred Wegener in the years 1929-1931. During this ambitious expedition climatological and glaciological data were collected, which are excellently documented and available for the project in the archives of Graz University.

A new approach to archeological and historical remote sensing based on AI solutions!

QUANT is a science communication project funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) where we have collaborated with about a dozen different school classes to bring topics from basic research into the classroom. We have created an online platform that can still be used by anyone interested in physics at the nanoscale and beyond. The topics reach from the origin of mass and Higgs bosons to metamaterials and how to make things invisble.
