Mathias Forjan is Senior Lecturer and Researcher at the Faculty of Life Science Engineering and Head of the competence center "Medical Engineering & Integrated Healthcare" at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien. He received his PhD in Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences from the Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro in Portugal (2018), after his Bachelor and Master studies of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien, Austria (2009, 2011). For three years, he was deputy program director of the Biomedical Engineering Sciences Master's program and coordinates the research projects in the research area " Data-Driven, Smart & Secure Systems " for the Life Science Engineering Department. In addition, his tasks include the coordination of international activities of the Life Science Engineering faculty. Mathias Forjan is an ISTQB certified Software Tester and former IHE Connectathon Monitor. He is a lecturer and trainer on IHE Connectathon, software quality management and software risk management. In the Biomedical Engineering (Bachelor) and Medical Engineering & eHealth (Master) courses, Mathias Forjan teaches medical device technology, ventilation technology and aerosol measurement technology. Within the competence center he is responsible for the topic of Applied virtual and augmented reality in medical & healthcare processes.
