Markus Weiss BackgroundMarkus Weiss is a third year visiting Ph.D. student in the Engineering Systems Division at MIT and senior researcher in the Bits to Energy Lab, Switzerland. He graduated with a master in Computer Science from the University of Würzburg, Germany in 2008. During his studies he worked as student assistant for the Distributed Systems Group of the University of Würzburg. In 2005 he received a one year scholarship for his graduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin, USA. There he focused on networks and security issues. His diploma thesis was based on a project cooperation with Datev EG Germany and dealt with the perfomance analysis of different thin-client architectures. From March 2008 on, he is a PhD candidate at the Institute of Pervasive Computing and the Department of Management, Technology, and Economics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich), Switzerland. Research InterestsIn his research, Markus is looking to apply his background in performance analysis and information management to dynamic energy systems. He combines data analytics with the development, implementation, and evaluation of different concepts of electricity consumption feedback and customer engagement strategies to stimulate residential energy efficiency. In particular, human computer interaction (HCI) aspects of portable energy feedback and pattern recognition algorithms that disaggregate the total residential energy consumption into the usage from individual appliances.
