Ingo Feinerer

Privatdozent Dr. Dr. Ingo Feinerer serves as the Head of Faculty of Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt in Austria. With two doctoral degrees and the Habilitation qualification (indicated by Privatdozent), he holds a senior academic position equivalent to Associate Professor in many systems.

His research interests span multiple disciplines:

• Text Mining and Computer Science (class diagrams, schema mapping, domain constraints)
• Radiobiology and Ion Therapy for advanced cancer treatment
• Social Network Analysis and digital media
• History of Psychology and academic journal evolution

Prof. Feinerer's work demonstrates exceptional interdisciplinary breadth, connecting technical computer science with medical physics applications and historical analysis. His current major research initiative is the PAIR project (2022-2026), which focuses on expanding radiobiological understanding of ion beams for cancer treatment. This project recognizes ion therapy using protons and carbon ions as the most advanced radiation-based cancer treatment due to its physical and biological advantages over conventional photon beams.

His publication record spans from 2007 to 2025, with 36 publications including 18 journal articles and 15 conference papers. Recent publications show a shift toward medical physics applications while maintaining connections to his computer science expertise, as evidenced by the 2025 paper on an open-source framework for pre-clinical ion-beam research.

As Head of Faculty, Prof. Feinerer oversees academic programs and research activities within the Faculty of Engineering, contributing to both educational leadership and active research in his diverse fields of expertise. His ORCID identifier (0000-0001-7656-8338) provides a persistent link to his scholarly work across these interdisciplinary domains.
