Sergei N. Bauer

Sergei Nicholas Bauer (born in the early 1990s) is an electrical, information and communication engineer with a dual Austrian and New Zealand citizenship.
Childhood years
As son of an Austrian chef and a New Zealand teacher, Bauer was born in Wellington, New Zealand.
He grew up in Pauatahanui where he started his primary school education.
In 1997, Bauer's family moved to Vorarlberg, Austria, where he completed his primary school education.
Following this, Bauer visited a sports high-school in Nenzing.
Educational steppingstones
As the english private school International School Rheintal opened in 2002, Bauer was granted a teachers-child scholarship and completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma as best of his year in 2008.
First professional experiences
In 2006, Bauer started working for the Poolbar culture and music festival, where he started as a stagehand his summer holidays. In the following years he was continuously promoted from a stage technician in 2007, to the stage-manager
and backline provider in 2010.
At the age of 20 he was responsible for instructing his own team of stage technicians to provide a technically suitable stage organized desired musical instruments for international acts such as: Juliette Lewis, Flogging Molly, Nada Surf, Bad Religion, Carl Craig and Monster Magnet.
Educational foundations
Bauer started his university education by enrolling for electrical engineering at the Graz University of Technology in 2008.
In 2010, he started working as a student tutor in designing electro-dynamical line charge field-vector models for the Institute of Fundamentals and Theory in Electrical Engineering.
For his bachelor thesis, he published results from his occupation as student project assistant, where he assisted the creation of scientific reports on the inductive coupling between high voltage over-head powerlines and conductive pipelines.
Mastering education
In 2014 Bauer started working for the semi-conductor research and development institute KAI, funded by the Austrian research promotion agency, the Carinthian economic promotion fund and Infineon Technologies Austria.
Motivated by this occupation Bauer enrolled in the master course for information and communication engineering at the Alpen-Adria university of Klagenfurt.
In March 2016 Bauer published a comparison between two hardware platforms at the NI-days in Vienna.
Bauer completed his master course by publishing his thesis which involved the implementation of a novel target application software environment for qualifying semiconductors.
Significance for semiconductor research
By implementing a scalable and re-usable target application software, Bauer enabled a novel approach to qualification procedures using a System on a Module.
In former qualification setups, the control boards responsible for carrying out the qualification procedures could not be re-used if standards changed or more complex test-patterns are demanded.
By providing a modular approach, the control unit can be re-used and by doing so reduces the amount of electronic-waste from qualification procedures.
