Curriculum

Reinhard Riedl, Dipl. Ing. Dr. phil., studied engineering mathematics at the Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria. He worked as a tutor for students in social sciences and economics from 1986 - 1988. From 1988 to 1989 he was a full time student assistant at the functional analysis group there. From November 1989 until March 1994 he was assistant at the Mathematical Department of the University of Zurich. He received his Ph.D. from the 2nd Philosophical Faculty of the University of Zurich for a thesis in pure mathematics entitled 'Composition operators and geometric properties of analytic functions'. His thesis deals with interrelations between geometry of Banach spaces, harmonic analysis, potential theory and Brownian motion. The main topic is the interplay between function theoretic properties of bounded analytic functions and functional analytic properties of the associated composition operators.

From 1994 to 1997 he was a senior research assistant at the Department of Information Technology of the University of Zurich. From 1994 until 1997 he has been involved in the Esprit basic research project 'LYDIA' on load distribution for distributed and parallel systems. Since 1996 he is a regular lecturer at the University of Zurich. From 1997 to 2001 he performed as `Oberassistent' (principal research assistant) of the System Architecture and Software Group at the Department of Information Technology of the University of Zurich. His boss was Prof. Dr. Lutz Richter.

In winter term 2001/2002 he held a deputy position as an associate professor for high performance distributed computing at the Institut für Technische Informatik of the University of Rostock. From 2002 to 2004 he held a deputy position (Lehrstuhlvertretung) for the vacant position of a full professor for distributed systems and communication at the University of Zurich.

More Personal Information

Since 1992 Reinhard Riedl draws up Zurich's Cynical Theatre Guide, which is published on the Web since 1995. Since 2000 he writes the column "Künstliche Ansichten eines Wissenschafters" in the Austrian Quarterly `Welldone forte', which is targeted towards readers and opinion leaders in the health care and pharmaceutical business. Moreover, he is a member of the Catholic Parish Council Effretikon.

His doubtful cultural impact has been portrayed by high standing papers such as Sonntagszeitung, Tages Anzeiger, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, and Zürcher Oberländer.
