About Jens Kirchner

Jens Kirchner studied physics at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and at University of St. Andrews, Scotland. He received his doctorates in 2008 and 2016 from FAU in the fields of biosignal analysis and philosophy of science to the Dr. rer. nat. and Dr. phil, respectively. Between 2008 and 2015 he worked at Biotronik SE & Co. KG in Erlangen and Berlin in the research and development of implantable cardiac sensors. Since 2015, he is with the Institute for Electronics Engineering at FAU, where he heads the Medical Electronics & Multiphysics Systems group.

Fields of Research

Jens Kirchner has his research focus in medical electronics and in multiphysics systems, i.e., systems that are subject to the laws of several physical laws. Among the research topics are:
