I am a Senior Researcher at the TU Wien, Vienna Austria, at the Faculty of Architecture and Planning. I studied Architecture (Graduation 01/2011), pursued a PhD in Building Science (Promotion 09/2014) and have been actively involved in a large number of research and teaching activities since then. My professional career at the TU Wien already started back in 2002, when I started to work as a teaching assistent / student collaborator at the Department of Building Physics and Building Ecology. I held different positions, and was intermistic head of the Department Building Physics and Building Ecology from October 2021 – October 2023 (vacancy of the chair position). A side from that, i never stopped pursuing academic interests, such as taking courses in business administration, civil engineering, art history, and history. Moreover, i became an scuba-diving addict during my early 20ies, and pursued a career in that field as well (I am a CMAS** instructor, and i am actively teaching at the USI – University Sports Institute of the University of Vienna).

My research interests include Building Physics, Building Ecology, Building Construction, Building Performance Evaluation and Simulation, Building Informatics and history and cultural aspects of buildings. Beside these, I pursue a set of other activities in view of broadening my own Worldview, scientific scope and doing this by pursuing non-AEC-interests, such as social sciencies, computer sciences, and economy.

I am an active member in a number of intra- and extra-university committees, such as the Dean’s advisory committee (Fakultätsrat)and the TU Wien Senate, where i got a full member back in 2019 (periods 2019 – 2022, 2022 – 2025) as well as becoming Spokesperson for the academic non-professor-staff and elective committee head for the academic non-professor-staff. Moreover, I have been involved in a naumber of career and professorship admission procedures at the TU Wien, and became member of committees of the ASI/ÖNORM (Austrian Standardization Institute).

My teaching activities include undergraduate and graduate, as well as post-graduate courses in Architecture and Building Science, as well as Design Studios. I am interested in working with motivated students for thesis work in my resarch domains.
