Wilhelm BURGER

Wilhelm Burger received a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Utah (Salt Lake City) and a doctorate in Systems Science from Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria. As a post-graduate researcher at the Honeywell Systems & Research Center in Minneapolis and the University of California at Riverside, he worked mainly in the areas of visual motion analysis and autonomous navigation. Other projects include generic object recognition and biometric identification.

Personally, Wilhelm appreciates large-engine vehicles, chamber music, and (occasionally) a glass of dry “Veltliner”.
