Education and Academic Pursuits
After completing his studies at the French Lycée in Vienna, he pursued higher education in Paris and Vienna, majoring in physics and mathematics. His academic pursuits extended beyond science, as he actively engaged in exploring issues of anti-Semitism and discrimination against Jews in the Soviet Union, a topic that deeply resonated with him.

ORF Correspondentship and International Recognition

International Recognition and Honorship
In recognition of his contributions, he was elected to the International Council of the Austrian Foreign Service in 2009. This prestigious body brings together seasoned diplomats and experts in foreign affairs to foster international dialogue and understanding.
