About

I am Swiss, grew up in Switzerland, and did most of my schooling there. After completing the MSc in informatics at the University of Zurich I went abroad. So far I have not returned. I am currently living in Hannover, where I lead the Lab Knowledge Infrastructures at the TIB - Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology. I have lived in fabulous Finnish Lakeland where I have completed a PhD in environmental informatics and a MSc in environmental science at the University of Eastern Finland. I lived for some time in the UK and in the US where I had the opportunity to work with great people at HP Labs in Bristol and Stardog Union (formerly Clark & Parsia) in Washington, DC. You can find me on Twitter @markusstocker, on LinkedIn, ResearchGate, Google Scholar. My ORCID is 0000-0001-5492-3212.
