He has a BSc in astrophysics from Royal Holloway, University of London, and an MSc in science communication from the University of Edinburgh.

Georg Rehberger
Web Editor & Journalist
Georg joined the editorial team in August 2020 and is responsible for timeanddate.de, our sister site in German.

Before joining timeanddate, Georg worked as a technology communicator, writing for international PR & communication agencies. He loves food, typography, and traveling.
Working in Our Team
We are responsible for all textual content, but that involves far more than growing our extensive library of articles. Our daily work covers fields as diverse as SEO, database maintenance, research, UX, marketing, and content localization for our German and Norwegian websites.
From keeping our users up-to-date about the world's time zones to working together with programmers and designers to develop a new service, editorial work at timeanddate.com is diverse, interdisciplinary, multicultural, and fun.
