Hi, and welcome to my homepage. My name is Lukas Karrer, born on the 3rd. of November, 1974. After finishing my major in electrical engineering at the Polytechnical School ETH in Zürich I started to work in a small consultancy. STIMMT AG specializes in evaluation and conceptual design of interactive systems focusing on usability and user acceptance. As a founding partner of STIMMT, I am responsible for finance and account management. Next to my work, I am currently enrolled in a swiss business school in a post-grad course. My main area of interest is mobile communication and emerging Internet technologies. Two semester projects and my thesis reflect this interest. In collaboration with Mettler Toledo GmbH, I worked out a concept for (inter-)networking high-precision lab balances and implemented a prototype. In the second semester project, I redid a hands-on training for an introductory lecture in computer networks. As diploma thesis, I worked on a design and implementation of a platform for location based services using a Bluetooth infrastructure. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my friends and fly my radio controlled airplanes. |
