Silvester Sabathiel (*1992 in Mondsee, Upper Austria)  

Sabathiel studied Theoretical Physics at Karl-Franzens University of Graz, including specializations in “Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics” and “Variants of General Relativity Theory (Space-Time Curvature) and their Consequences for Cosmological Observations”. Concurrently, he started a Master’s in Computer Science at Graz University of Technology, where he found his passion for Artificial Intelligence. Afterwards, from 2018 until 2023, he completed a doctorate in Computer Science in Trondheim, Norway, at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, where he attempted to teach artificial neural networks mathematics in order to better understand human cognitive processes. In 2019, he was a research visitor at Stanford University in California. Since December 2023, he is working at Silicon Austria Labs, where he translates his know-how in machine learning into applications for autonomous mobility and renewable energies.
