Secondment Deakin University - From Austria to Australia
By Johannes Handler on January 8th, 2024

In January and February, I had the great opportunity to do a Secondment at Deakin University, collaborating with Prof. Chang-Tsun Li and Dr. Duc Thanh Nguyen from the School of Information Technology. My visit was part of WP4.1, which focused on analyzing the needs for AI and Big Data Analytics.
Deakin University's workspace is all about openness and collaboration. With its open spaces and interdisciplinary approach, it was the perfect place for sparking conversations and sharing ideas with researchers from different fields. This opened up the opportunity for me to take part in a study about using augmented reality in manufacturing and what it could mean for the future of the industry.
In essence, my time at Deakin University was not just an incredible academic experience but also a fantastic journey into new cultures and climates. Moreover, it offered a pleasant escape from the Austrian winter, allowing me to enjoy the warmth of the Australian summer.
