Born in 1979, Patrick Mc Allister received an MA in Philosophy from the Univ. of Vienna in 2005, and a PhD from the Institute for South Asian, Tibetan and Buddhist Studies, Univ. of Vienna, in 2011 (supervised by Helmut Krasser). He has been working at the IKGA since July 2016.

His primary research interest is the development of Buddhist epistemological theories during the 9th to 11th centuries (primarily in the works of Prajñākaragupta, Jñānaśrīmitra, and Ratnakīrti).

He is also engaged in projects of the digital humanities, in particular EAST, a tool to collect bibliographical and prosopographical information on South Asian and Tibetan literature, and SARIT, a library of electronic Indic texts.
