Preface to the Festschrift for Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heinz Gerhäuser

This book is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Heinz Gerhäuser on the occasion of his retirement both from the position of Executive Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS and from the Endowed Chair of Information Technologies with a Focus on Communication Electronics (LIKE) at Friedrich-Alexander University, Erlangen-Nuremberg. The contributions to this Festschrift were written by Fraunhofer IIS staff and external project team members in grateful appreciation of his lifetime academic achievements and his inspiring and much-valued leadership of Fraunhofer IIS. Born in Munich in 1946, Heinz Gerhäuser began his education in 1960 with an apprenticeship as an electrician, which in 1965 led to a technical college entrance qualification. Besides his practical abilities, an interest in scientific research and engineering was already emerging. Accordingly, Heinz Gerhäuser went on to pursue an academic education in electrical engineering, studying at the Georg Simon Ohm Polytechnic in Nuremberg from 1965 to 1968 and subsequently at FriedrichAlexander University, where he obtained his Master’s degree in 1973.
