Summary
Stefan Huber is Head of Research and a professor at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, leading the Josef Ressel Centre for Intelligent and Secure Industrial Automation where he directs a multidisciplinary team on AI, cybersecurity and discrete industrial automation. A computer scientist and mathematician by training, he bridges deep theory—having contributed influential work in topological machine learning and solved open problems—with pragmatic engineering, inventing the ACOPOStrak software and authoring a dozen patents. He combines 30 years of C++ and 20 years of Python experience with a track record of shipping industrial-grade systems from concept to commercial release and licensing geometric algorithms to over 100 companies. Equally comfortable in academia and industry, he focuses on machine learning for time series, reinforcement learning for cyber-physical systems, and anomaly detection for operational technology. An avid Linux user and lifelong learner, he still pursues foundational curiosity spanning physics, philosophy and psychology beyond his technical work.
