I am a theoretical physicist at the University of Vienna. My main research interests lie in the fields of cosmology, quantum gravity and the question whether the general ideas of quantum theory deserve major modifications when applied to the universe as a whole. Besides, I am interested in the issue of whether quantum theory can help us understanding life, consciousness and understanding in terms of physics. I am active as a member of "Future Media. Verein zur Förderung multimedialer Qualitätsprodukte", an association in support of high-quality standards in the multimedia education and "edutainment" sector. My third field of activities is didactics of science, in particular of mathematics and physics, and the collaboration with teachers, students that will become teachers and institutions for adults education. I participate in the multimedia Maths project "maths online" and in the Austrian NetScience project, a descendant of the international netdays initiative. In the course of these activities I became involved in several web projects. |
