Peter Robinson
Peter Robinson received his M.Sc. degree (with distinction) in Computational Intelligence and his B.Sc. degree in Software & Information Engineering from the Vienna University of Technology, where he is currently working on his Ph.D. in Computer Science. Since 2006 he is working at the Embedded Computing Systems Group.
