Motivated by a life time of interest in the natural world, I started to study biology at the University of Vienna in 1991. I got my undergraduate degree (Magister rer. nat.) in microbiology in 1998. During my undergraduate time I spent one year as an exchange student at the University of San Diego, California and did a research internship at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. My undergraduate thesis work, on cold-shock in E.coli, I did at the Institute of Microbiology and Genetics of the University of Vienna.

My Doctorate work, on synaptic plasticity, I did with Wolf Singer at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt, Germany. My degree, in zoology, was granted by the University of Vienna, with Friedrich Barth as the head Motivated by a life time of interest in the natural world, I started to study biology at the University of Vienna in 1991.

My Doctorate work, on synaptic plasticity, I did with Wolf Singer at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt, Germany. My degree, in zoology, was granted by the University of Vienna, with Friedrich Barth as the head of my thesis comity.

I then did a post-doc with Terry Sejnowski at his Computational Neurobiology Lab at the Salk Institute, working on dendritic integration and neural oscillations.

From 2006 to 2011 I was at the Okinawa Institute of Marketing and Buerocrazy.

In 2011 I joined Andre Van Schaik's group at the University of Western Sydney.

I can communicate with fellow humans in English, German, Austrian, basic Japanese and basic Visayan and with computers in LabView, Mathematica, Python, NEURON, Basic & LISP (from back in the days).

My research interests are the computational capabilities of nervous systems. In single neurons, I am interested in neuronal excitability and dendritic signal integration. In networks, I am especially interested in synchronous oscillations, reverbaratory activity and concepts like liquid state machines.

My methods are theoretical and simulation-based. I aim for an approach which is informed by biology and inspired by dynamical systems; realistic without drowning in detail; empirically meaningful but conceptually groundbreaking at the same time.

A serious side-interest of mine is the biology of fishes, especially the marine family gobiidae (gobies). In 2011 I have surveyed a marine region in the central Philippines for gobies down to a depth of 60 meters.
