Biography

He studied mathematics and geometry at the TU Wien from 1973 to 1978 from where he also received his doctor's degree in 1980,^[1] advised by Walter Wunderlich.^{[citation needed]} After working as a teacher for mathematics and geometry at a higher technical school, he returned to university. He was visiting professor at Princeton University from 1986 to 1987 where he worked with Steve M. Slaby.^[2] In 1998 Glaeser obtained his habilitation in computer graphics at the TU Wien and became a full professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.^{[citation needed]}
