Biographical Sketch
Manuel Peter Kainz was born in Wolfsberg, Austria, in 1993. In 2013, he graduated from the Technical High School with a focus on automation and mechatronics with distinction. After Civilian Service in Knittelfeld, Styria, he started his studies at Graz University of Technology and at the University of Graz (NAWI Graz). He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Physics in 2018 with the Bachelor Thesis "Luminescence of Porous Silicon". He was then enrolled in the Master's program for Technical Physics in Graz. During his studies, he spent two semesters abroad at the Uppsala University in Sweden followed by a two-month Summer School Program at the Wayne State University in Michigan, USA. Manuel conducted his Master’s Thesis under the supervision of Prof. Roland Resel from the Institute of Solid State Physics and in close collaboration with Prof. Josef Simbrunner from the Medical University of Graz, where he developed a software for "Indexing of Grazing-Incidence X-Ray Diffraction Patterns". Manuel graduated with distinction in November 2020. In May 2021, he started his doctoral studies at the Institute of Biomechanics, Graz University of Technology in Austria, where he investigates the mechanical properties of human brain tissues under the supervision of Professor Gerhard A. Holzapfel and Professor Gerhard Sommer.
