Alexander Zoechbauer

I am a Young Graduate Trainee (YGT) working on Artificialy Intelligence (AI) in the Advanced Concepts Team (ACT).

I graduated with a MSc in Information Technology from ETH Zürich. My research interest is especially focussed on the intersection of different scientific disciplines and beyond. At the Future Cities Laboritories in Singapore I was estimating public transport usage and its implications on urban planning. In a brief stay in the Institute of Population Aging at the University of Oxford I studied how AI can be applied to better predict demographic trends. I have also spent one semester at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and got the chance to broaden my knowledge in the field of Finance and Economics. Most recently, my master thesis was on Video Super Resolution at the Computer Vision Lab at ETH Zürich. I am now taking my previous experiences with me to ACT at ESA and look forward to the interdisciplinary collaboration with many talented scientists.

Beside my interest in academics, I like skiing, surfing and mountain biking - basically anything that gives me a reason to be outside in the nature. Born in Austria, my curiosity soon drove me out to take a peek outside Alpine mountain ranges. Having lived on three continents and discovered many countries, I love to explore new cultures, languages and especially their food, which I then try to replicate at home as best as I can.
