## Early life and education

Ulamex was born in [Salzburg](/source/Salzburg) on January 27, 1966.

Ulamec studied [geophysics](/source/Geophysics) at the [Karl-Franzens University](/source/Karl-Franzens_University) in [Graz](/source/Graz) (Austria) as student of Prof. [Siegfried J. Bauer](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegfried_J._Bauer).[9] He finished his PhD on "*Acoustic and Electrical Methods for the Exploration of Atmospheres and Surfaces, with Application to Saturn's Moon Titan*" in 1991.[10]
