[CV] [Research Areas & Interests] [Projects] [Publications] [More]

I am currently working as a project assistent at the University of Technology Vienna. I studied the diploma program Applied Mathematics with a concentration in Computer science (first Dipl.-Ing.) and the master's program Computational Intelligence (second Dipl.-Ing.), which I finished both with distinction in November 2007 and April 2009, respectively. For my second degree I studied at the Pavol Jozef Safarik University in Kosice, Slovakia in the summer term 2008, where I also had the opportunity to gain an advanced level of Slovak language skills. Furthermore, I studied at the City College of New York in New York, USA during the winter term 2008.

During 2007/08 I had the honor to participate in TUtheTOP - the high potential program of the TU Vienna. During 2002/03 I did my civil service (called Gedenkdienst) at the Auschwitz Foundation in Brussels, Belgium.
