Prof. Dr. Nils Pohl received today the "Wolfgang Mehr" Fellowship Award 2017 at IHP - Leibniz Institute for Microelectronics for his research in the field of high frequency electronics. "It is a great honor for me and I appreciate the very good scientific as well as fair cooperation with IHP", the scientist thanked for the award. He is engaged in research on multidimensional radar systems in SiGe technology and gave an overview of circuits and systems for ultrahigh-resolution radar systems in his presentation.
Prof. Dr. Nils Pohl studied electrical engineering and information technology and earned his doctorate at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Since June 2016, he has headed the Chair for Integrated Systems (InSys) at the Faculty for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. At the same time, the Aachen native is head of the Chip Design team at Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques in Wachtberg. His research focuses on integrated circuits for frequency synthesis as well as for radar technology.
The Fellowship Award has been awarded since 2016 and bears the name of the former scientific director of IHP Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Mehr, who passed away in 2015. Prof. Mehr led the institute from 2002 to 2014 with a future-oriented strategy and led it to become an internationally recognized, excellent research institution. It is precisely this solution-oriented determination that distinguishes the recipients of the Fellowship Award. "The prize is awarded to particularly active researchers and scientists," says Prof. Dr. Rolf Kraemer, head of the Systems Design Department at IHP.
