Ernst Rothauser (7 July 1931 – 4 August 2015)[1][2] was an Austrian computer scientist. As member of Heinz Zemanek's "Mailüfterl-Team", he worked on the country's first transistor computer. After finishing his dissertation he was hired by IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, retiring in 1995.[3][4]

Rothauser worked on the Mailüfterl with Zemanek and a team of students.[5][better source needed] In 1960, he finished his dissertation about the Vocoder at TU Wien.[6] It was first used in the Siemens studio for electronic music, before being used in popular music in the 1970s.

Rothauser owned several patents patented by the IBM Research Laboratory Zurich, including one for a network switches.[7]
