• Affiliation: Austrian Academy of Sciences (since 2000), University of Vienna (since 2003)
• Education: Doctorate in Prehistory and Early History from the University of Vienna (2009)

His research centers on Paleolithic settlement structures, artifact morphology, and experimental archaeology. Key projects include long-term excavations at Krems-Wachtberg (2005–2015) and Kammern-Grubgraben (since 2015), with a focus on loess stratigraphy and subsistence strategies during the Last Glacial Maximum.

Recent publications analyze geochemical proxies, radiocarbon chronologies, and osseous industries at LGM sites in Lower Austria. His work bridges archaeological data with Quaternary science to understand environmental impacts on hunter-gatherer societies.

He leads the Quaternary Archaeology Research Group and contributes to public archaeology through excavations and outreach. Collaborations span institutions in Austria, Germany, and international venues.
