Günter Stein (born March 15, 1938 in Leipzig ) is a German engineer and professor of control engineering .

Life

Günter Stein was born in Leipzig in 1938, grew up there and also attended general education schools here.

After the Abitur 1956 at the Richard-Wagner High School in Leipzig he studied at the Technical University of Dresden the degree program Electrical Engineering in the field of communication engineering . As a specialization, he chose control engineering with lectures and exercises at the first institute for control engineering with this name in the German-speaking area (director: Heinrich Kindler ). Other academic teachers who aroused his interest in academic work and teaching were Klaus Lunze , Georg Mierdel and Rudolf Lappe . In 1962 Stein obtained the academic degree of Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.).

After that stone was plentiful for four years as a development engineer working in the electronics operation intron Leipzig ( In dustrial elec tron ics, after emerged from this is many years the company LAMTEC Leipzig). Intron became part of the Leipzig operation of the Teltow (GRW) device and controller works . Stein then switched to the then engineering school for automation technology in Leipzig, which after a few changes in structure and name became one of the pillars of the Leipzig University of Engineering and, in 1977, of the Leipzig University of Technology (THL); he worked here in the automation systems section (director: Werner Richter ) and was part of the control engineering science department (head: Herbert Ehrlich ). After the reunification of Germany, the THL became the University of Technology, Economics and Culture Leipzig (HTWK) in 1992 (founding rector: Klaus Steinbock ).

Stein received his doctorate in 1975 as a doctoral engineer (Dr.-Ing.) With Karl Reinisch at the TH Ilmenau on problems of controller setting in two-variable control. In 1984 he completed his habilitation at the Technical University of Leipzig with a thesis on working regimes similar to sliding states (sliding modes) in regulations with variable structures.

In 1982 he was appointed associate professor (equivalent to C3 professor ) for the field of control engineering at what was then the TH Leipzig.

In connection with his research and teaching, Stein also cultivated international contacts, for example he stayed for study purposes in Penza (Russia) and at the Moscow Institute for Steel and Smelting (MISIS). Several times he was a guest at the Technical University of Sofia in Bulgaria and at the Kiev Polytechnic Institute (Technical University of Kiev).

After German reunification, he published the results of his scientific work at international conferences in Swansea (UK), Interlaken (CH) and Tokyo (J), among others . In particular, he established contacts with the automation company Festo , both in Esslingen and with Festo USA in New York with the then President Horst Saalbach .

When the HTWK Leipzig was founded in 1992, Stein was appointed to the founding professorship of control engineering. In this capacity and as a member of several academic bodies and appointment commissions as well as dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (1996 to 2001), he was committed to the restructuring of his faculty. During his time as dean, Bachelor and Master courses were also introduced .

He directed his further research work on non-linear problems , fuzzy rules and chaotic processes , on the application of digital simulation and on methods of computer-aided learning .

Two of the doctoral students he co-supervised were appointed professors - Hendrik Richter at the HTWK Leipzig and Ines Rennert at the University of Telecommunications in Leipzig .

From 1980 to 1990, Stein headed the KDT district committee for electrical engineering / electronics Leipzig as a deputy and electronics expert together with Siegfried Altmann . He was also active in the standardization of terms in his field. In the 1970s he worked on the TGL 14591 control and regulation technology, terms and designations . From 1993 he was a member of the processing committee of Chapter 351 Control Technology of the IEV (International Electrotechnical Vocabulary / International Electrotechnical Dictionary) and was its deputy chairman for many years. This committee belongs to the DKE in DIN and VDE as UK 921.1 “Terms of control technology” . Employees included Professors Heinrich Rake (Aachen), Wolfgang Krämer (Rosenheim), Leon Urbas (Dresden), Helmut Alt (RWE and Aachen), Gerhard Fischerauer (Bayreuth), Christian Diedrich (Magdeburg), Ulrich Epple (Aachen).
