Germany
In my 25 years of professional career I gained experience in different fields of microelectronics and electrical engineering. I have worked in different environment fields ranging from fundamental academic research at university, through applied R&D in semi-industrial institute, and finally towards product development.
I started my career path in 1996 during my PhD at the Technical University, Germany, in the area of neuromorphic VLSI systems for auditory signal processing, continuing in 1999 with electronic data converters (ADC) and sensor readout electronics development at a semi-industrial research Institute for Microelectronics and Mechatronics in Erfurt, Germany. I worked there as a group leader and I was responsible for building up a new team and for establishing the ADC know-how, including project acquisitions at industrial partners and state-funded research project. Further I gathered experience with electronic and ASIC development for motion control sensors within the german mechatronics company in Bavaria, and afterwards while working at National Semiconductors Germany, with high-speed broadband Sigma-Delta A/D converters for wireless communication systems.
During my career I have always worked in multidisciplinary teams and thus expanded my knowledge in adjacent fields of the electronics, like neural computer science/bioengineering, communications technology, sensor physics and mechatronics.
Since 2011 I extended my professional experience with technical consultancy, when I started my freelance electronic design consulting business. I acquired most of the contracts by myself with customers and cooperated on development of chip-integrated electronic devices for different applications. I have co-developed analog/mixed-signal ASICs for power-line communication, wireless communication systems, NFC & RF-ID, DC/DC switched-mode power supplies, automotive LDOs, and finally on a high precision 20b DAC for industrial measurement applications. I gained experience with price quoting and project planning.
