Curriculum vitae

After completing his bachelor’s degree in medical technology, Benedict Scheiner changed to electrical engineering – electronics – information technology in the master’s program, which he completed in March 2017 at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. In July 2021 he successfully finished his Ph.D. studies, which he cunducted since June 2017 at the Chair of Technical Electronics in the Circuits, Systems and Hardware Test (CST) team. His research focuses on system, circuit and high frequency design.

Furthermore, he holds several courses and is responsible for the teaching since 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Besides his scientific work at the LTE, he is together with Fabian Michler Co-founder and Co-CEO of Sykno GmbH, a company for high-frequency technology and sensor systems.
