subnuclear physics. From 1997 until 1998 he has been a scientific member at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Karl-Franzens-University in Graz, at the same time being accountable for the UNIX-cluster of that Institute. From 1998 until 2001 he has been employed at the Ars Electronica Center Linz as an executive manager of the development department Futurelab. Since 2001 he is scientific member at the Institute of Pervasive Computing, Johannes Kepler University Linz.
