Prof. Dr.-Ing. Walter Lang
IMSAS – Institute for Microsensors, Actuators, and Systems
Walter Lang studied physics at the University of Munich. He earned his doctorate in engineering from the Technical University of Munich with a thesis on technical combustion.
He then worked in microsystems technology and sensor technology, first at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solid State Technology in Munich, then at the Hahn-Schickard Institute in Villingen, and since 2003 at the University of Bremen. In Bremen, he headed the Institute for Microsensors, Actuators, and Systems (IMSAS). One of his main areas of research was the integration of sensors into materials (glass fiber composites, elastomers, metals). Another focus was the use of sensor networks in logistics. In particular, the aim here was to reduce food loss during transport and storage (intelligent containers). Walter Lang has now been retired for several years.
