Schreiner, Rupert

Prof. Dr. Rupert Schreiner was born in Grafenau, Germany in 1971. He studied physics in Munich (Germany), Dublin (Ireland), Regensburg (Germany), and Stuttgart (Germany). He received the M.Sc. degree in physics from the University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany, in 1997 and the Ph.D. degree from Stuttgart University, Stuttgart, Germany, in 2002. At the Microstructure Laboratory, Stuttgart University, he started research on InGaAs(P)/InP semiconductor lasers. In 2001 he joined Infineon Technologies, Munich, Germany, to work on optoelectronic microsystems. Between 2004 and 2005 he was appointed as CTO of Parolink Technologies in Hsinchu Science Park (Taiwan). 2005 and 2006 he was project manager in the Technology Transfer of Infineon from Villach (Austria) to Kulim (Malaysia). Since 2006 he is Professor of Applied Physics at the Faculty of Microsystems Technology at the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule (OTH) in Regensburg, Germany. His major research interests are microsystems, microsensors and vacuum nanoelectronics. The intensive cooperation with the industry within the scope of his research activities is reflected by a multitude of industry-funded projects. In 2017, these achievements were honoured with the OTH award for special achievements in the cooperation between industry and science. Since 2021 Prof. Schreiner was appointed the OTH Research Professorship for Microsystems Technology and Applied Physics. Dr. Schreiner is a member of the German Physical Society and the VDE Germany (Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies).
