Technologies for Next Generation Sensor & Actuator Networks

I have studied Theroretical Physics at Techn. Univ. Munich where I have received my PhD in 1990. After research positions at Niels-Bohr-Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark and Gesellschaft f. Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt, Germany, I came to Siemens Corporate Technolgy. Here, I was managing cross divisional R&D projects in the areas vehicle traffic management, wireless sensor & actuator networks and recently the Smart Grid application Demand Response.
