biography

After graduating from the old-language Karl-Friedrich-Gymnasium in Mannheim , Tim Lüth studied electrical engineering from 1984 to 1989 at what was then the Technical University of Darmstadt , where he joined the Corps Hassia . He worked for two years as a research assistant at Wolfgang Hilberg and Robert Piloty before moving to Ulrich Rembold's Robotics Institute at the University of Karlsruhe in 1990 . There he received his doctorate in 1993 with a topic on robot manufacturing cells. In 1994/95 he worked as an invited guest researcher at the Japanese National Research Institute Elektrotechnical Laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan. In the context of the Collaborative Research Center 314 " Artificial Intelligence ", Tim Lüth completed his habilitation with the distributed control of complex technical systems (multi-agent systems) and was appointed private lecturer in the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Karlsruhe in 1997.

At this point in time he had already received a professorship for medical navigation and robotics at the Humboldt University in Berlin , which was established at the Charité medical faculty . It was the first professorship in computer and robot-assisted medical technology in Germany in 1997 and the third professorship worldwide after Brian Davies' professorship at Imperial College in London (UK) and Russel Taylor's professorship at Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, USA).

In 2001, Tim Lüth was appointed to a joint professorship at the Fraunhofer Society and Humboldt University in Berlin with a chair at the Charité, which he held until 2005. At that time he was also co-director of the Clinic for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery , Clinical Navigation and Robotics at the Virchow Clinic of the Charité.

In 2005 he followed the call of the Technical University of Munich to succeed Joachim Heinzl as full professor of microtechnology and medical device technology. From 2007 to 2009 Tim Lüth was one of the two directors of the Central Institute for Medical Technology at the Technical University of Munich. From October 2013 to October 2016 he was dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and has been vice dean there since October 2016.

Tim Lüth lives in Dietersheim (Eching) near Munich .
