Walter E. Dahlke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter Emil Dahlke (born August 24, 1910 in Berlin; † October 8, 1995 in Salisbury Township, Lehigh County ) was an electrical engineer .

The son of Hermann Emil Dahlke and Marie, b. Kunert studied in Berlin and attended lectures by Einstein, among other things. In 1936 he received his doctorate with a thesis on nuclear vibration bands of solid carbon dioxide. From 1936 to 1940 he worked as a post doc at the University of Jena and completed his habilitation in 1939.

Until 1949 he was head of the microwave laboratory of the German Research Institute for Aviation (DVL) in Adlershof in Berlin. He then went to Ulm, where he was Research Director of the AEG's Solid State Research Institute until 1965, doing research on electron tubes.

In 1964 he began at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania as a visiting professor in the National Science Foundation's Senior Foreign Scientist Fellowship Program, and in 1965 he became Professor of Electrical Engineering. He was a specialist in the fields of high frequency technology and semiconductors. In 1981 he was appointed G. Whitney Snyder Professor and retired in 1985. He last lived in Allentown, Pennsylvania .
