Stefan Teschl worked in the automotive industry at Magna Steyr before he enrolled in Electronics and Computer Engineering at the FH-Joanneum Graz, which he completed as BSc in 2019. At that time he also started as student trainee at AVL List GmbH in the field of embedded software development. He is now in his master course in Electronics and Computer Engineering at the FH-Joanneum, which he is expected to complete as MSc in 2021.
Peter Priller received his Dipl. Ing. (MSc.) in electrical engineering at the TU Graz, Austria. He started at an RFID startup in ASIC development (analog and digital hardware design). In 1997 he joined AVL Graz, working in various positions from software development to system architecture / real-time systems to software project management. The main focus is on automotive/industrial control systems, achieving dependability, modularity and time determinism, with additional focus on (real-time) communication networks. In 2013 he moved to AVL ITS global Research and Technology management, where he currently serves as Principal Technology Scout for embedded systems. He is engaged in multiple research co-operations and projects focusing on (1) safety, reliability and security in cyber-physical systems, (2) heterogeneous networking systems (fieldbus, industrial/automotive Ethernet, in-vehicle networks), (3) wireless communication systems in industrial environments (WSN, cellular) and in automotive applications (V2X, CAV, HAV), and combining these aspects in (I)IoT based systems. Mr. Priller led or contributed to numerous national and European research projects, serves as co-chair in WG9 (smart mobility) in AIOTI, acts as reviewer and TPC member of international conferences and holds several patents in the field of real time control and measurement systems. Peter Priller is a guest lecturer at the technical university Graz (TUG).
