Before researching and teaching at ETH Zurich, department Information Architecture he spent a year researching at FCL Singapore. Actually he is working on extracting high-level features from geometric input with large scale unsupervised learning, and therefore is applying both methods and theories known from automatic image labelling and unsupervised machine translations. Before working at ETH he did his diploma on multi agent systems in design according to an actor network theory point of view at TU Graz, studied Philosophy of Science and received a HTL diploma in mechanical engineering.
