Life

Alexander Egyed completed his computer science studies at the University of Linz in 1994 . He then attended the University of Southern California in Los Angeles , USA, where he took a master's and doctoral degree in computer science (1994-2000). In the fall of 2000, he received a doctorate in computer science. After receiving his doctorate , he worked as a research scientist at Teknowledge Corporation in Marina del Rey in California, USA (2000–2007). From 2007 to 2008 he conducted research at University College London , UK, before returning to Linz . Since 2008 he has been a full professor at the JKU. He is also an associate professor at the University of Southern California.

Egyed is active in both science and industry. In collaboration with the Boeing Company and Carnegie Mellon University , he devoted himself to the architecture of avionics systems (2002). He then cooperated with the Northrop Grumman Company , Sarnoff and International Honeywell , who developed a software system for unmanned vehicles (2005–2007). He completed a project with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . He is currently cooperating with IBM and was recently awarded an IBM CAS Research Fellow.
