PhD and habilitation then in physics in Heidelberg.
He worked as Head of Optical Spectroscopy at the Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques (IPM) in Freiburg from 1999 onwards.
2000 he was appointed to the Chair of Medical Engineering / Biomedical Engineering at the Heidelberg University, settled as a professor at the Medical Faculty of Mannheim, Mannheim University Hospital.
