Overview
My main affiliation is with the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences. I have been teaching there since 2006, and focus on signal processing, statistics, rehabilitation, and 3d movement analysis.
In addition, I am habilitated at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ("ETH Zuerich"), where I regularly gave courses on "Computer Simulations of Sensory Systems". You can find more information about that topic in the Wikibook of Sensory Systems that my students and I have put together.
Current courses (FH OÖ, 2025/6)
Master of Medical Engineering (MME)
- Motion Capture and Analysis ( MOC1 )
- Introduction to 3D Kinematics. Application of these algorithms with Python to signals from Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). (Book: 3D-Kinematics; URLs: scikit-kinematics)
- Bionic Implants ( BIM1 / BIM2 )
- Part 1 introduces the human auditory system, cochlear implants, and the signal analysis of auditory signals. ("Book": Wikibook of Sensory Systems - Auditory Systems; URL: scikit-sound).
Part 2 provides an introduction to the basics of machine learning, and applies that knowledge to the control of a lower arm prosthesis. - Statistics ( STA2 )
- Mainly hypothesis-based tests, since those are the mainstay of statistics in medicine. But also an introduction to statistical modelling is provided. (Book: Introduction to Statistics with Python, 2ed; URL: statsintro-python-2e)
- Introduction to Programming Tools ( IPT1 )
- In collaboration with other professors. My part covers the introduction to Python. (URL: 7 Steps to Python)
Bachelor Medizintechnik (MT)
- Biosignalverarbeitung ( BSV3 )
- Biosignalanalysis. Introduction to the main algorithms and tools in signal analysis. (Book: Hands-on Signal Analysis with Python; URL: github: sapy)
- Sport- & Rehabilitations-Technik ( SPR6 )
- - Anatomical and physiological basics of motor control and motor learning
- Devices for the rehabilitation of lower- and upper-extremities
- Brain-computer interfaces
- Cochlear implants - Technische Qualitäts-Sicherung ( TQS6 )
- Technical quality control. Provides an introduction to quality control history, tools, and regulations, as well as an introduction to the basic statistical tests required for quality control.
