IDCOM Seminar Talk by Prof. Dr. Jürgen Karl Peissig

Jürgen Karl Peissig received his Dipl.-Phys. degree ('88) and his PhD ('92) in Physics from III. Physical Institute of University of Göttingen, Germany in the area of digital signal processing with application in acoustics and digital binaural hearing aids.

After a stay at Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ, USA in 1991 he worked as research assistant and lecturer at the universities of Göttingen and Oldenburg, Germany. In 1995 he joined Sennheiser electronic, Germany, were he became responsible for the digital signal processing group in R&D. 

After a one year professorship for audio signal processing with applications in hearing restauration at the University of Applied  Sciences in Oldenburg, Germany in 2002, he moved to Sennheiser research, being responsible for research project definition and coordination. In 2004 he became responsible for setting up the Sennheiser Research facility in Palo Alto, CA, USA with core competency of digital audio-signal processing applied with acoustical transducers. In 2009 he became coordinator of the international Sennheiser technology road mapping process and headed the RF- and audio signal processing department at Sennheiser Research. Besides his work at Sennheiser research he is lecturing acoustics and signal processing at Leibniz University of Hanover, Germany since 2004.

In 2011 he joined the Institute of Communications Technology in the faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Leibniz University of Hanover. In 2014 he became full professor for communications systems at this institute. Today he is heading a group 12 researchers in the area of signal processing in RF- and audio/acoustics communications.  Mr. Peissig has published more than 80 papers and patents and is member of DEGA, IEEE and AES.
