Paul Seitlinger received his Ph.D. (Dr.rer.nat.) from the Karl-Franzens-University of Graz with a thesis on “Imitation in Social Software environments: The role of implicit and explicit memory processes” in 2012 and his diploma in psychology also from the Karl-Franzens-University in 2009. His research interests include formal models of searching memory and external environments (e.g., on the Web) and their application in discovery learning scenarios (e.g., design of recommendation mechanisms for digital learning environments) as well as in cognitive games (e.g., model-based game environments to train search and memory). He is currently a Senior Researcher at the Cognitive Science Section (University of Graz) and at the School of Educational Sciences (Tallinn University). Since 2009, he has been researching in EU-FP7 projects (MATURE, weSPOT, LearningLayers, CEITER) and in two Austrian Science Fund (FWF) Projects (MERITS, OMFix).
