“Outer space is a source of fascination for many of us. At the same time, the complexity of space technologies can be overwhelming. The EU project TESLA will reach out to the general public and present the latest findings with a focus on microwave technologies in a way that inspires young people to start a career in this unparalleled field of research.”

Prof. Reinhard Teschl

Dr Reinhard Teschl studied Information and Computer engineering at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), Austria, and received a master’s level and doctor’s degree in 2001 and 2010 respectively. He is currently a University Assistant at the Institute of Microwave and Photonic Engineering at TU Graz, focusing on antennas and filters.

From 2010 to 2017, as a Senior Scientist, he was with the Radar and Microwave Propagation Group at TU Graz. His areas of research include microwave engineering, weather radar technology, atmospheric- and hydrological sciences, and data-based models. In these scientific fields he has authored more than a dozen articles in journals and peer-reviewed conference proceedings. Dr. Teschl is a member of the European Geosciences Union (EGU).
