Scientist MUL
DI Michael Schober, MA
holds a master’s degree in history and philosophy of science (University of Vienna) and a master’s degree in technical chemistry (TU Wien). He is specialized in history of science and analytical chemistry. During his bachelor’s study, he was already involved in a project researching the diffusion of metal into human bones with a case study using LA-ICP-MS and Bronze Age finds.
In UBC, he is investigating foremost Sr isotope ratios in human remains. Furthermore, different environmental samples of the area from Asparn/Schletz will be analyzed as well for tracing migration patterns. Therefore, he will conduct sampling, sample preparation, and mulit-elemental and isotope analysis with instruments from the infrastructure of MUL (prepFAST, ICP-QMS, ICP-SFMS).
