Martin Horauer was born in 1969 in Horn. He studied control engineering, industrial electronics and computer science at Vienna University of Technology. In 1994 he joined the research project SynUTC. In the project he was responsible for the implementation and evaluation of custom application specific integrated circuits and inspection of key system parameters. To that end, his doctoral thesis is devoted to the problem of an implementation of precise distributed clock synchronization in the worst-case range of some ns. Late 1997 he became member of the staff of the department of Computer Technology at Vienna University of Technology where he was responsible for the topics of microcomputer architecture. In 1999 he started to teach at Technikum Wien. He became a staff member of the Technikum Wien in 2002, where he is presently associated to the department of Embedded Systems. He is heading the Bachelor in Electronics Engineering program and associate head of the Master in Embedded Systems program. Martin Horauer is member of the ASME, ÖVE and IEEE.
