In 2012, he received a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in computer science, a Master of Science (MSc) in 2008 and a
Bachelor of Science (BSc) in 2006 at Graz University of Technology, Austria.
In 2012, he engaged as post-doctoral researcher with Prof. Luc Van Gool
at the Computer Vision Laboratory (BIWI, yeaaah) at ETH Zurich.
In 2016, he went on a venture to found the company Casalva - artificial intelligence for buildings.
In 2020, he started a completely new project.
While at ETH, he was leading the team and project for the ERC Advanced Grant VarCity (Variation & the City)
where the goal was to reconstruct and augment large-scale 3D urban modelling for cities with semantic and dynamic aspects,
and have fun while doing so! :)
As all in life, this site will grow and enrich itself with time.
