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 …

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.
