  • Embarking on my Open Educational Resources (OER) journey

    I’m excited to share a new chapter in my teaching journey: the creation of Open Educational Resources (OER). As a lecturer at Graz University of Technology, I’ve always sought innovative ways to make complex topics accessible and engaging for students—particularly those from Electrical Engineering and Information and Computer Engineering backgrounds. Now, I’m extending this mission beyond the classroom by contributing to the world of OER. I try to keep my OERs up to date on my OER page.

    OERs are free and openly licensed educational materials that allow educators and learners to adapt, share, and build upon content. They represent a decisive shift toward more inclusive and flexible learning opportunities. By creating OERs, I hope to contribute resources that support my students and empower educators and learners worldwide.

    This initiative will apply to all the courses I teach. The full list of courses is on my teaching page.

    Stay tuned as I continue to expand this collection, and feel free to reach out if you have feedback or ideas. Let’s make learning accessible to all—together.


  • Promotio sub auspiciis Praesidentis rei publicae

    Durchaus mit etwas Stolz kann ich vermelden, dass ich am Freitag in Graz unter den Auspizien des Bundespräsidenten [1] zum Doktor der Technischen Wissenschaften promoviert wurde. Am Montag habe ich dann den Ehrenring in der Hofburg in Wien von Herrn Bundespräsidenten Van der Bellen überreicht bekommen habe.

    Mein besonderer Dank gilt allen meinen Wegbegleitern sowie den Institutionen, die dafür Sorge getragen haben, dass sich das Ganze auch “ausgeht”: Danke an die HTL Braunau, an die Technische Universität Graz, sowie an meinen Dissertationsbetreuer Marcel Baunach und den Zweitgutachter Steffen Reith.

    Weiterführende Informationen und Bilder zu den Zeremonien in Graz und Wien finden sich auf meiner Homepage [2].

    With some pride, I can announce that I was awarded my doctorate in Engineering Sciences on Friday in Graz under the auspices of the Federal President [1]. On Monday, Federal President Van der Bellen presented me with the Ring of Honor at the Hofburg in Vienna.

    My special thanks go to all my companions and the institutions that made sure that the whole thing “worked out”: Thanks to the HTL Braunau, to the Graz University of Technology, as well as to my dissertation supervisor Marcel Baunach and the second assessor Steffen Reith.

    My homepage has further information and pictures of the ceremonies in Graz and Vienna [2].

  • HaDes-V Launch

    We are thrilled to announce the kickoff of our newly designed, RISC-V-based Microcontroller Design, Lab!

    This year marks the first iteration of the new format, where students will embark on a hands-on learning experience as they delve into implementing the all-new RISC-V-based HaDes-V architecture.

    Special thanks to David Beikircher and Florian Riedl for implementing the course.
