Board of the AES Ilmenau student section

Faculty Advisor

 Paßfoto von K.-H. Brandenburg Karlheinz Brandenburg received M.S. (Diplom) degrees in Electrical Engineering and in Mathematics from Erlangen University in 1980 and 1982.

In 1982 he earned his Ph.D. (Dr.) in Electrical Engineering, also from Erlangen University, for his work on digital audio coding and perceptual measurement techniques. The techniques described in his thesis form the basis of MPEG Layer-3 (mp3), MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) and most other modern audio compression schemes.

In 1994 he received the AES Fellowship Award for his work on perceptual audio coding and psychoacoustics. In 1998 he received the AES silver medal award for his continued contributions and leadership to the art and science of perceptual audio coding.

In 2000 the "Deutsche Zukunftspreis" was awarded to him and his colleagues Harald Popp and Berhard Grill.

Since October 2000 Prof. Brandenburg has been the director of the Institute for Media Technology at TU Ilmenau. He is also in charge of the recently set up Fraunhofer Institute of Digital Media Technology (IDMT).
