Bio

Jack is a current AI-Masters student of Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria, taking a symbolic and math track, with lots of machine learning, of course. Right at the onset of Covid-19, after graduating college in New York, he joined the Austrian Red Cross (where Austria is a second home) first as a paramedic volunteer national servant, then finding a great fit in the IT department of the Upper Austrian Blood Bank: there was no shortage of work, all around dealing with a pandemic from a processes and software standpoint, in a humanitarian org. Now on an educational leave to complete his Masters, he needs the time to also integrate a second undergrad (technical) degree in Software Engineering, at Hagenberg Campus, Upper Austria. His work is in Enterprise Content Management (and automation), where these interests intersect and combine with a humanistic spirit. He hopes that current advances in AI and the Mathematica toolset can help. More concretely, Jack has just selected and started working on a mathematical document processing tool for a thesis project in Software Engineering, with RISC, Hagenberg’s/Johannes Kepler’s Research Institute in Symbolic Computation, translating specific Mathematica documents to new formats as required by the institute. Still, for his project, Jack is excited to explore all avenues, possibly leading to his Masters thesis.
