Below an overview about my past experiences professional and in teaching. For more details refer to my cv.

Vienna, Austria Data Scientist, Software Developer, Since June 2020

Using statistical analysis to detect recurrent device faults in solar plants
Building and maintaining an automatic fault reporting and ticketing engine for solar plant operators
Constructing a validation and labeling infrastructure for data analysis

Notre Dame, IN Graduate Research Assistant, Computer Science and Engineering July 2016 – May 2020

Used deep learning techniques to reconstruct information in sparsely stored unsteady flow simulation
Lead a team of 6 undergraduate students for designing and developing a web-based educational tool for students to learn about graph visualization
Used novel spectral graph sparsification methods combined with a focus+context interaction to allow exploration of big graphs
Designed a deep learning-based framework to detect salient isocontours in plasma fusion data
Analyzed time-varying multivariate data by cross-comparison allowed through high-performance isosurface recommendation
Introduced an iterative algorithm allowing to escape over-sampled areas in histogram methods and identifying nearly equally spaced isosurfaces
Improved the performance of isosurface selection by 8x by deriving an approximation algorithm and using GPUs

Lemont, IL Research Aide, MCS Department May 2018 – July 2018

Designed a workflow to annotate XGC plasma fusion data for supervised learning methods
Assembled prototypes for different deep learning models to detect “blobs” in unlabeled XGC plasma fusion data

Vienna, Austria Junior Researcher, Semantic Modelling and Acquisition Oct. 2015 – June 2016

Collaborated to write my master’s thesis on “Parallelization of BVH and BSP on the GPU” under the supervision of Prof. Werner Purgathofer
Implemented a parallel BVH creation and traversal algorithm using OpenGL and F#
Designed a workflow to subdivide an input scene into multiple cells to create multiple memory-conform BSPs in the same framework
Developed a software to iteratively optimize the curvature of bendable casts in 3D using a C#
