Seit September 2003 war Dr. Mecking bei der BMW AG in verschiedenen Bereichen der Elektrik und Elektronik tätig, zunächst für das Mensch-Maschine-Interface Design und später in der Elektrik&ndash;/Elektronik-Integration. Von 2015 bis 2017 war er bei der BMW Manufacturing Co in South Carolina, USA, für die Änderungssteuerung im Bereich Elektrik/Elektronik, Fahrdynamik und Antrieb zuständig. Seit seiner Rückkehr nach Deutschland im Sommer 2017 leitet Dr. Mecking die Abteilung zur Integration und Absicherung der Elektrik/Elektronik&ndash;, Fahrdynamik- und Antriebsumfänge an den BMW Standorten Regensburg und Oxford.

  1. Biographies and Bibliographies
  2. An LNTwww beteiligte Mitarbeiter und Dozenten
  3. LNTwww members from LNT

During the creation of  "LNTwww"  many colleagues at the LNT gave us great support.  In this context, we understand  "LNT"  to mean the  "Lehrstuhl für Nachrichtentechnik"   ⇒   "Chair of Communications Engineering". 

From the  scientific staff  we would like to especially thank the following (former) colleagues:

Dr.-Ing. Ronald Böhnke (at LNT from 2012-2014)

Ronald.JPG

Ronald Böhnke, born in Bremen in 1976, studied Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Bremen and worked there as a research assistant from September 2002 in the field of Communications Engineering, where he obtained his doctorate on  "Efficient Detection and Adaptive Transmission for MIMO-OFDM Systems".   During his studies, he completed a three-month internship at Intel Corporation's research center in Santa Clara, California.  In addition, he was a visiting scientist at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications at the Heinrich Hertz Institute in Berlin for two months in 2002.

In September 2010,  Ronald Böhnke became a research associate at the Chair of Communications and Navigation (NAV) at the Technical University of Munich and contributed to the design of a geostationary relay satellite system.  After completing the project, he moved to the LNT in February 2012.  Since June 2014, he has been working in the field of mobile communications at the  "European Research Center"  of Huawei Technologies Düsseldorf GmbH in Munich.

Ronald Böhnke was a member of the German National Academic Foundation and received the Karl Nix Award for the Baccalaureater, the VDE Award for the Diploma and a "Best Paper Award" at the "IEEE International Workshop on Cross-Layer Design 2007".

His contributions to the LNTwww project:  

  • Competent consultant and expert for the books  "Information Theory" and  "Channel Coding". 
  • Often he also had to take corrective actions.


Dr.-Ing. Joschi Brauchle (at LNT from 2007-2015)

Joschi Brauchle

Joschi Brauchle, born 1982 in Bad Reichenhall, studied electrical engineering and information technology at the Technical University of Munich from 2002 to 2007.  After completing his intermediate diploma, he completed a one-year master's degree at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, USA in 2005/2006.   In his diploma thesis at LNT he worked on  "Soft-input decoding of Reed-Solomon codes in concatenated systems"  and on  "Soft-output list decoding of inner convolutional codes".

After finishing his diploma thesis, Joschi Brauchle was a research assistant of  Prof. Kötter  and  Prof. Kramer.   His research was mainly concerned with algebraic coding theory, and in particular with the properties of bivariate interpolation-based decoding schemes for Reed-Solomon codes, as well as with the error correction performance of multidimensional schemes on related code constructions.  In winter 2013, he spent a three-month research stay at the University of Toronto, Canada.  In December 2015, he received his PhD on the topic  "Algebraic Decoding of Reed-Solomon and Related Codes".

In teaching, Joschi Brauchle designed and supervised the exercise for the lecture  "Channel Coding"  in the master's program from 2008 to 2013, for which he was awarded the lecturer prize of the student council for electrical engineering and information technology in 2013.  He supervised various student papers in seminars as well as quite a few bachelor's and master's theses throughout his assistantship. In 2015 he organized the main seminar.

In addition, Joschi Brauchle was jointly responsible for the conception and maintenance of the computer network and all IT systems at the LNT as a system administrator from 2009 to 2015.

His contributions to the LNTwww project:  

  • In his capacity as system administrator, Joschi realized earlier than those responsible for LNTwww that our  "old LNTwww"  was indeed somewhat outdated.
  • He put some basic and good thought into porting it to its present wiki form, for which we are all very grateful to him today.


Dr.-Ing. Klaus Eichin (at LNT from 1972-2011)

Klaus Eichin

Klaus Eichin was born in Wolfach in 1946.  He studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Munich from 1965 onwards and obtained the title of Dipl.-Ing. in 1972.  He was awarded a doctorate in engineering in 1984.

  • Already during his diploma thesis he was together with his later doctoral supervisor Prof. Karlheinz Tröndle intensively engaged in the topic  "Use of the computer in teaching".
  • Afterwards, he worked at the Chair of Communications Engineering at the Technical University of Munich until his retirement in September 2011. In the last years, he focused on the research area of digital mobile radio.
  • Furthermore, Dr. Eichin held events for students of the teaching profession at vocational schools (LB) as Academic Director.


His contributions to the LNTwww project:  

  • In 2001 Klaus Eichin was together with his colleague Günter Söder the initiator of this e-learning project and worked intensively on it until 2011.
  • Among other things, Klaus was co-author on six of the total nine LNTwww books.


Dr.-Ing. Francisco Javier García Gómez (at LNT from 2016-2021)

Javier.jpg

Francisco Javier García Gómez received the B.Eng. degree in Telecommunication Technologies and Services in 2014 from the Technical University of Madrid, (Spain), and the M.Sc. degree in Communications Engineering in 2016 from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany.  The topic of his Master’s Thesis was  “Linear and Non-linear Estimation Methods for Single Carrier and Multicarrier Coarsely Quantized MIMO Systems”.
