Who is Alex?

I am Alex Steinmaurer, a computer scientist, teacher, and researcher from Austria. I currently work at IT:U Austria, a newly established interdisciplinary university in Linz focused on transforming learning and science. I have a PostDoc position, advised by Prof. Manuela Paechter. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Faculty of Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering at Graz University of Technology, supervised by Prof. Christian Gütl.

My research lies at the intersection of computer science and education, with a particular focs on how technology (especially GenAI) affects learning and teaching in computer science. See the Research section for more information.

In 2026/2027, I am a Goethe Teaching Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt, where I teach seminars on AI in Education and Computing Education.

I am also an Adjunct Fellow at the Cognitive and Digital Science Lab at Graz University of Technology.

During Fall 2023, I was a Research Fellow with the PLT Group at Brown University, working with Prof. Shriram Krishnamurthi and Prof. Kathi Fisler.
