Curriculum Vitae:
Birth
18.3.1935, Wels, Upper Austria
Education
Elementary school in Linz, Austria High school (Gymnasium) in Linz, Austria Diplom Ingenieur degree in Electrical Engineering from Technical University of Vienna, Austria Doctor of Technical Sciences degree from Technical University of Vienna, Austria
Employment
Assistant Professor at the Theoretical Electrical Engineering Institute of the Technical University of Vienna, Austria Solid State Devices Department at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey, USA Head of the Microwave Physics Department of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics, Freiburg, Germany 1974 - 1985 Full Professor and head of the Industrial Electronics Institute at the Technical University of Vienna, Austria 1985 - 2003 Full Professor and head of the Microelectronics Institute at the Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria 1991 - 1993 Dean of the technical faculty Professor Emeritus at the Microelectronics Institute, Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria
Research and Teaching Activities
Crystal growth of compound semiconductor materials, bulk semiconductor and hetero-junction devices for microwave and millimeter-wave applications, Gallium-Arsenide integrated circuits, and microwave sensors. He developed the first stable bulk semiconductor amplifier, known as the TEA (transferred electron amplifier), together with co-workers at Bell Labs. Recently he became interested in special relativity and carried out experiments showing that the relativistic transverse Doppler shift and, hence, time dilation effects are absent. His teaching activities included basic electromagnetism, semiconductor devices and circuits, opto-electronics, wave propagation and relativity.
