Dr Hagen Schmidt
Hagen Schmidt holds Diploma and Dr.-Ing. degrees in electrical engineering from Technische Universität Dresden, Germany. For several years he worked for electronic industry at Robert Bosch, Telefilter and Vectron International before he became group leader for Surface Dynamics at Leibniz Institute IFW Dresden. In 2013 he co-founded there the application center SAWLab Saxony. His current research interests include microacoustic devices like SAW- and BAW-based sensors and actuators, novel piezoelectric crystals and advanced thin film systems, especially with high-temperature/high-power capability and the design of new acoustoelectronic systems.
