Ulrich Jumar (2016)

Ulrich Jumar (born August 9, 1959 in Magdeburg ) is a German engineer and professor of process automation . He is one of the pioneers of the practice-oriented draft regulation for multi-variable systems with innovative applications and is co-founder, chairman of the board and head of the non-university research facility "Institute for Automation and Communication" (ifak) in Magdeburg.

Life

Ulrich Jumar is the only child of Alfred Jumar , who has a doctorate in chemistry, and Marie-Luise Jumar , a pharmacist , born. Balzer was born and raised in Magdeburg. Here he attended a polytechnic high school and then the extended high school Humboldt , where he graduated from high school in 1978 . Immediately after graduating from high school, he worked temporarily in the measurement and control technology department of the chemical and pharmaceutical factories “Fahlberg-List” Magdeburg , which helped determine his future study orientation.

Traditional headquarters of control / automation technology on the Magdeburg campus

From 1978 to 1983 he completed a university degree in electrical engineering, specializing in "technical cybernetics and automation technology", at the technical university "Otto von Guericke" Magdeburg (THM), section technical cybernetics and electrical engineering (TK / ET). He chose the control engineering specialization , which has existed at the THM since 1960 (founder: Heinrich Wilhelmi ).

His studies in the field of "Control Engineering and Process Control" coincided with major personnel changes due to the departure of four university lecturers: Herbert Ehrlich (1975 to Leipzig), Heinz Töpfer (1978 to Dresden), Werner Kriesel (1979 to Leipzig), Siegfried Rudert (1980 deceased). The following were appointed as new professors: first in 1978 Ulrich Korn to the chair “Control Engineering” and later in 1981 Peter Neumann to the chair “Devices and Systems of Automation Technology”. In 1978, the management of the science department changed from Heinz Töpfer to Siegfried Rudert . Between 1980 and 1985, Ulrich Korn succeeded Siegfried Rudert, who died unexpectedly, as head of the scientific department; then Peter Neumann took over this function.

In 1983 Jumar finished his studies as a graduate engineer (Dipl.-Ing.) At the THM under the rectorate of Reinhard Kurt Probst in the section technical cybernetics and electrical engineering with the section director Reinhold Krampitz . In his diploma thesis he dealt with algorithms for multivariable control under the scientific guidance of Professor for Control Engineering Ulrich Korn .

Jumar then went on to study research in the field of control engineering and process control, his scientific supervisor was Ulrich Korn . The research focused on the theory of robust and self-adjusting controls. Jumar carried out the practical testing of his research results in an industrial activity that he carried out in the "Petrochemicals and Fuels" plant in Schwedt on the Oder , a center of large-scale petrochemical industry with a connection to an oil pipeline from the former Soviet Union, which continues from today's Russia is fed.

In 1986 his doctorate took place with a dissertation prepared under the supervision of Ulrich Korn on "Robust tuning multi-variable controllers with PI character"; Awarded the academic degree of Doctoral Engineer (Dr.-Ing.) And the overall rating "With distinction - summa cum laude" by the Faculty of Technical Sciences of the TH Magdeburg (Dean: Manfred Strümke ).

After German reunification , the control engineering and process control science area was transferred to the "Institute for Automation Technology" (IFAT) with the participation of Peter Neumann and Ulrich Korn and expanded to around 30 employees with 4 chairs.

In the period from 1985 to 1992, which was particularly characterized by the reunification, Jumar carried out teaching and research as a research assistant, most recently in the "Institute for Automation Technology" (IFAT) of the Faculty for, newly founded by Peter Neumann and Ulrich Korn Electrical engineering at the Technical University "Otto von Guericke" Magdeburg. Jumar was able to complete this phase in 1992 with a research and study stay at King's College, University of London , Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering. Here, his work focused on the topic of "New concepts for the automatic setting of process controllers using artificial neural networks and methods of fuzzy logic", and he continued to conduct research on knowledge-based systems.

Ifak ​​building in the Magdeburg Science Harbor

The subsequent period from 1992 to 2005 was characterized by his scientific work and managerial functions in the non-university research institute ifak eV, Magdeburg:

  • Conception, development and management of the area “Control and Control Draft” (later “Control and Regulation”) with the groups “Continuous Systems” (later “Environmental Informatics”), “Discrete Systems” (later “Traffic Telematics”) and “Drive and Energy Technology",
  • Scientific work on regulation and control design. Application of the design methods of continuous regulation and discrete event control systems in the field of process technology, road traffic technology and embedded systems for electromechanical systems; Development and application of model-based regulation and control concepts; Creation of a far-reaching interdisciplinary cooperation in university and non-university research areas as well as with practitioners of the above-mentioned application focuses,
  • Active as a representative of the ifak institute in various specialist committees and organizations: Member of the advisory board and board of directors of the VDI / VDE Society for Measurement and Automation Technology (GMA), member of the specialist committees of the German Association for Water Management, Sewage and Waste (DWA) and the GMA.

With the beginning of 2005 Jumar was as CEO and director of the institute selected the ifak and entered these functions, the successor of Peter Neumann on. Christian Diedrich became Jumar's deputy in both functions . Since April 2005, Jumar has also been an honorary professor for process automation at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. As head of the affiliated institute ifak, Jumar was appointed honorary professor by resolution of the university's Senate and was given the position of a civil servant professor in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology.

Jumar has published almost 100 publications on the subject of control and automation technology and through co-authorship in specialist books. For many years Jumar has worked in the scientific management of conference series and congresses: VDI congress AUTOMATION in Baden-Baden, DWA conference measurement and control technology in wastewater systems, EKA - design of complex automation systems, KOMMA annual colloquium communication in automation, SIMBA meeting of the German-speaking Simulation user in the field of wastewater systems.

In addition to Ulrich Jumar, other professors have their roots at ifak : Rudolf Mecke ( Harz University , Wernigerode), Anatoli Makarov ( Magdeburg-Stendal University ), Stephan Kühne ( Zittau / Görlitz University ), René Simon (Harz University, Wernigerode), Jörg Auge (Magdeburg-Stendal University), Martin Wollschlaeger ( Dresden University of Technology ), Bernd Henning ( Paderborn University ), Robert Hoyer ( Kassel University ), Jürgen Jasperneite ( OWL University , Lemgo) and Christian Diedrich ( Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg ) .

Ulrich Jumar has been with the doctor Michaela Jumar , geb. Seefeldt married. The couple have two grown children: daughter Agnes (born 1987) and son Richard (born 1989).
