Dr. Christoph Maschler studied physics and mathematics at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, graduating with master theses on the scattering of atoms in an atom trap and on the functional-analytical foundations of quantum mechanics. His PhD thesis in theoretical quantum optics focused on the interaction of ultracold atoms in optical lattices. This work resulted in several publications in internationally renowned journals. Dr. Christoph Maschler has been working as a patent attorney since 2013 and is admitted to practice before the Austrian Patent Office in Vienna, the European Patent Office, the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in Alicante and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva.
