Technische Universität Wien

Attended.

He's got a master's degree in surveying from Technical University of Vienna and an MBA from University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Glasgow.

His current job is head of reality capture portfolio at Leica.

His passion is working in a team with talented and passionate people to drive product development and seeing things evolve from initial crazy ideas to final real solutions.

And the implications here are just huge.

Researchers from TU Wien, that's the Vienna University of Technology, and Goethe University Frankfurt haven't just theorized this.

They finally captured it with real analytical mathematics.

Which was basically impossible before, right?

Right.

Which brings us to this idea of being on a razor's edge.

Professor Daniel Grumiller from TU Wien calls this space-time crystal a-- I think his words were a very peculiar and fascinating object.

Yeah, because it is an intermediate state.

Und, äh, wir haben eine Produktion gebaut in Kasachstan, äh, äh, hab immer noch einen Partner dort und war Long Honorarkonsul von Kasachstan in Österreich, ähm, haben dann Produktion in China gebaut.

Das sind wir auch beteiligt noch, äh, haben in Südafrika Projekte umgesetzt, haben in Los Angeles das weltbeste Haus mit der TU Wien, äh, und mit der FH Kuchl gebaut, das Lissy, das war zweitausenddreizehn oder das erste schwimmende Passivhaus am Weißensee zweitausendsechs.

Das waren schon alles Meilensteine.

Sehr mühsam, teilweise auch, [lacht] aber, aber spannend auch.

And we are here also with Elina Krenzle.

She's a researcher at TU Wien, Interdisciplinary Center for Urban Culture and Public Space, as well as the Social Design Studio at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna.

And she's working on urban development in context of social and political transformation.

Thank you so much for being here today.

Haven't we, though? Honestly, I feel like I could disprove the complete understanding of time shit just by asking him to reset the clock on my stove for daylight savings time.

At the age of 18, Rudolf's family took him to Innsdorf, where he enrolled at the Vienna Institute of Technology.

And he studied maths, physics, chemistry, botany, zoology, mineralogy, literature and philosophy.

It was the education of a Renaissance man and that diverse set of interests, but not necessarily expertise.

So Ingeborg and also Erwin Hochmair join us.

And if we go back and look at their history, and they've probably heard this all day long, but you know, they were at the Vienna Technical University.

They collaborated to develop the first microelectronics multi-channel cochlear implant.

Think about that and the components that went along and the thoughts of engineering that.

Six payloads, and I love this manifest because it's so unglamorous in the best way.

Five cube sats from the Technical University of Berlin, from NTNU in Norway, from the University of Maribor in Slovenia, from TU Wien in Austria, and one from EnduroSat, which is Bulgarian.

Plus a non-deployable experiment from a German company called D Cubed that stayed bolted to the stage.

Universities.
