SCCH

SCCH is an Austrian Competence Center for Excellent Technologies (COMET research center) focussing on data and software science.
SCCH acts as an active node in the Upper Austrian, Austrian and international innovation network and advances the topics of digitalization and artificial intelligence. SCCH is currently coordinating the H2020 ICT-38 project TEAMING.AI, the Austrian COMET module S3AI with international partners, and the Interreg Austria-Czech Republic project PredMAIn and is also contributing to the closely related H2020 project Cogniplant. SCCH’s main research focus is on software and AI systems engineering, comprising: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (knowledge graphs, decentralized optimization, human-centered AI etc.), Engineering and Workflows (software systems engineering, AI/ML system engineering etc.), Security and Safety (privacy preserving machine learning, data owners in control of privacy etc.)

Mario Pichler

PhD / International Cooperations
mario.pichler@scch.at

He has more than 21 years of experience in application-oriented research in the areas of Ubiquitous Computing, Software Science and Data Science. He obtained both his Master’s degree (in 2001) and Doctoral degree (in 2007) in Computer Science from the Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria, with a doctoral thesis on Ubiquitous Computing. Beyond that, he completed a BSc study of Geosciences and Atmosphere Sciences at the University of Innsbruck in 2015. As a result of these research activities, he has published more than 40 scientific publications in aforementioned areas. His current work focuses on the development of international collaborations and projects in the areas of Green and Digital (Industrial) Transformation and Artificial Intelligence with a personal interest on formal knowledge representation and reasoning.
