Life

Ruge studied electrical engineering at the TH Munich . After his diploma (1958) and his doctorate (1964), he completed his habilitation in 1967 in the field of solid-state physics . After several guest stays in research laboratories in industry in the United States, he became a professor at the Technical University in Munich in 1969, where he had previously been a research assistant. In order not to interrupt the internationally recognized work of his Munich research group on ion implantation , he turned down Johannes Rau's appointment at the Ruhr University in Bochum and instead took over the management of the newly established chair for integrated circuits at the Technical University of Munich. With his retirement in 2003, Ruge was promoted to the status of emeritus professor.

Act

On his initiative, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solid State Technology (IFT) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications were founded in Munich. Ruge was on the Scientific and Technical Advisory Board of several federal governments for 20 years and advised on important information technology issues . Ruge has completed 170 doctoral students, including Ulrich Steger, Rudi Knorr, and Heiner Ryssel. In 1973 he founded his first Fraunhofer Institute on his own initiative. This Institute for Solid State Technology IFT has now merged into the Fraunhofer Institution for Modular Solid State Technologies EMFT. He was in charge of its management until 1999. In the same year, Ruge founded his second Fraunhofer Institute, this time for telecommunications systems. In 2002 he also gave up its management.
