He was also a member in the Council for Research and Technology in Upper Austria (2003–2008).

Main areas of research

  • Theory and applications of near-rings: these are „collections of objects with which one can calculate almost as well as with numbers“. These near-rings have numerous applications, for instance in the construction of optimal designs for statistical experiments.
  • Prizes

  • Honorary medal in silver, by the County of Upper Austria (2007/08)
