Jan Mehner
Jan Mehner (born March 29, 1964 in Karl-Marx-Stadt, today Chemnitz ) is a German electrical engineer and university professor for microsystems and medical technology as well as director of the institute for microsystems and semiconductor technology at the Technical University of Chemnitz .
Career
Jan Mehner was born in Karl-Marx-Stadt (today Chemnitz) in 1964; his father was a railroad engineer. From 1970 to 1978 he attended the Polytechnic High School in Gelenau . He then switched to the “Clara Zetkin” advanced secondary school in Zschopau . There he passed the Abitur in 1982 . He then did his three-year basic military service as part of general conscription.
In 1985 he began studying electrical engineering / information technology. He obtained his academic degree as a graduate engineer in 1990 with the grade "very good" at the Technical University of Chemnitz. He wrote his diploma thesis on the subject of "Graphics module for FEM postprocessing". In a subsequent one-semester apprenticeship as part of his university studies, he acquired specialist, in-depth IT knowledge, which he documented in 1990 in a thesis on the subject of the “finite element method”.
The course was followed by research studies at the TU Chemnitz, which he completed in 1994 with a doctorate on the subject of "Mechanical stress analysis of silicon sensors and actuators under the influence of electrostatic and temperature fields" as a doctoral engineer (Dr.-Ing. With the title summa cum laude ) completed. In 1999 he obtained his habilitation as a Dr.-Ing. habil. with the text "Methods and tools for the design of silicon microstructures".
From 1996 to 2003 worked as a senior engineer at the TU Chemnitz. In 1999 he spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow in the USA at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and worked in Stephen D. Senturia's MEMCAD group. He then worked for four years at the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration in Chemnitz.
In 2007 Mehner was appointed professor for microsystems technology at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the TU Chemnitz. This professorship was rededicated seven years later to the professorship for microsystems and medical technology. Since 2007 he has also been the director of the Institute for Microsystems and Semiconductor Technology.
From 2013 to 2019 Mehner was elected dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the TU Chemnitz. Since 2014 he has been the Dean of Studies for the Biomedical Engineering course at Chemnitz University of Technology.
Since 2001 he has been managing the business of the FEM-ware GmbH, which he founded, and since 2015 he has been the managing partner of i-ROM GmbH.
