Bio:  From 1995 till 1999 Stephan Frei was research assistant for EMC at the Technical University in Berlin, Institute of Electrical Power Engineering. Here he investigated the influence of ESD on electronic devices and the occurrence rate of ESD in typical environments. 1999 he started to work at the car manufacturer AUDI AG. Here he introduced and developed new methods for the computation of EMC in automobiles. Also the data flow and process integration of EMC-computation were important topics of his work. Beginning from 2001 he was as senior engineer responsible for the EMC development of a product line and international standardization. Since 2006 he is professor for vehicular electronic systems at Dortmund University of Technology. At University he works on automotive Signal Integrity, EMC, and ESD problems. Stephan Frei is member or chairman of numerous standardization and working groups.
