I studied electronics engineering at the University of Duisburg in Germany. I made my thesis at the Fraunhofer Institute of Microelectronic circuits and Systems where I also spend the first five years of my professional work. I worked on circuit design for non volatile storage ICs and summarized all my experiences in a Doctoral Thesis.
Afterwards I joined the Nokia Consumer Electronics in 1995. In these days we still made TV sets here in Germany. Already half a year later I joined the Nokia Research Center. For several years I spent most of my time with analogue ASIC design, ASIC layout, a bit of EDA work and organized the foundry contacts for several ASIC projects. Besides the technical work, I have been active in contacting Universities mainly for recruitment purposes. I joined the paper review committee for the ICCD conference in 2000 and 2001.
Today my work is more on system level. I was involved in building a 4x4 MINO demonstrator using hardware inherited from another project and FPGAs. This gave us a lot of insight into the real parts of MIMO processing. No simulation can beat that. At the final end only real hardware on the table can prove the functionality and bring new things to the customer.

My main private interests are my children, my wife and my house. When there is still some time left, I spend it on electronics tinkering, mainly in the area of cinema technology, and shooting amateur movies where the latest one won a prize on the German short film festival "Soester Kurzfilmtage".
