Between years 1773 and 1785 he worked as a public and full professor of physics on Jesuits board in Ljubljana.
Till 1803 he was working as a professor of physics and mechanics at the University of Vienna.
Even though he was a physicist, his main work in German, Anfangsgruende der allgemeinen auf Erscheinungen und Versuche gebauten Naturlehre I-VI was established via Liebniz-Wolff rationalism.
In this book he established nature empirically and physics was literary for describing effects between bodies.
