Life

From 1984 to 1988 he studied theoretical physics at the ETH Zurich . The diploma thesis "The General Solution of the Feigenbaum-Cvitanovic Equation" was supervised by OE Lanford III. He spent the academic years 1988 and 1989 as a scholarship holder at the Mathematics Department at Princeton University . After a Masters in International Relations at the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna (1989–1991), he completed a doctorate from 1991 to 1994 at the University of Cambridge , England. The title of the dissertation with Michael LG Redhead was "Classical Observables, Measurement, and Quantum Mechanics". As an Alexander von Humboldt scholarship holder, he was then at the University of Cologne at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in 1995 . In 1996 he completed his habilitation at the University of Salzburg on the subject of “Universality and incompleteness - The limits of physical theories”.

Thomas Breuer currently heads the Process and Product Engineering Research Center (PPE) at the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences , where he deals with financial mathematics, statistics, operations research, quantum mechanics and philosophy of science. He is also a professor of statistical mathematics.
