- 1992: Came to NZ with the equivalent of a BSc from Germany. Undertook MSc studies in physics at the University of Auckland. The thesis was about signal processing for underwater acoustics used in a climatology experiment.
- 1994: Graduated MSc with 1st Class Honours. Later in that year, I started a PhD under Mark Titchener, on T-Codes.
- 1998: Finished PhD thesis and started my own consulting company, Technology Transfer Consulting Ltd. Did a bit of web work and more technical translations than you could shake a babelfish at.
