## Contributions
Available structured records identify Thorsten Poddig primarily through bibliographic and authority identifiers rather than by specific publications or products. He is recorded as a university teacher and has documented fields of work spanning finance, informatics, financial markets, artificial neural networks, and computer science. His presence in international authority files and library databases is evidenced by identifiers such as ISNI 0000000120249637, VIAF 45247206, GND 124888224, and idRef 139164472, and by a national authority record (mub2011645697) under the name "Poddig, Thorsten." These records demonstrate a sustained academic or scholarly profile and enable libraries, catalogues, and researchers to attribute works and activities to him reliably. The source material does not list specific papers, patents, companies founded, open-source projects, or standard-setting activities; it instead documents his professional identity, areas of expertise, and bibliographic footprint in authority systems.

## FAQs
### Q: Who is Thorsten Poddig?
A: Thorsten Poddig is a male university teacher, born in 1961, whose documented fields include finance, informatics, financial markets, artificial neural networks, and computer science.

### Q: What does Thorsten Poddig work on?
A: Authority records list his fields of work as finance, informatics, financial markets, artificial neural networks, and computer science. These indicate his professional focus but do not enumerate specific projects or publications in the provided sources.

A: He is listed in major authority and bibliographic systems: ISNI 0000000120249637; VIAF ID 45247206; GND (German National Library) ID 124888224; and idRef ID 139164472. A Dutch authority record appears as mub2011645697 under "Poddig, Thorsten."

## Why They Matter
Thorsten Poddig’s significance, as reflected in the available records, lies in his documented interdisciplinary position bridging finance and computational disciplines. Being registered in multiple international authority files (ISNI, VIAF, GND, idRef) is a concrete indicator that his work has been produced, cited, or catalogued in a way that requires consistent bibliographic identification. This enables accurate attribution and discovery across library systems and scholarly databases. His recorded fields — especially the combination of financial markets with informatics and artificial neural networks — situate him within areas that connect quantitative finance and machine learning. While the provided sources do not list specific works, the authoritative identifiers and the occupation "university teacher" together imply a sustained academic role that supports teaching, research, or publication activities in these technical and applied domains. Without these authority records, locating and disambiguating his contributions across catalogues and databases would be more difficult.
