Curriculum Vitae:

Professor Pachnicke was born in Dortmund, Germany, in 1977. He received the MSc degree in Information Engineering from City University, London, United Kingdom in 2001 and the Dipl.-Ing. (MSc equivalent) and Dr.-Ing. (PhD equivalent) degrees in electrical engineering from TU Dortmund, Germany, in 2002 and 2005, respectively. In 2005 he also got the Dipl.-Wirt.-Ing. degree in business administration (MBA equivalent) from FernUniversität, Hagen, Germany. In January 2012 he finished his habilitation on optical transmission networks and since then also works as Privatdozent (adjunct professor) at TU Dortmund.

From 2007 until 2011 he was working as Oberingenieur at the Chair of High Frequency Technology, TU Dortmund. Afterwards he was with ADVA Optical Networking SE in the Advanced Technology Group (CTO Office), where he was leading EU-funded research projects on next generation optical access. Furthermore, he was working on concepts for fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) and next generation data centers. Since 2016 he has been working as Full Professor of Optical Communications and Director of the Institute of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, Germany.

He is author or co-author of more than 100 scientific publications among them 5 books and more than 25 journal contributions. Furthermore, he is (co-) inventor of several patents.

Stephan Pachnicke received several awards for his work among them the ITG award for outstanding research publications (ITG-Preis 2012), the PhD thesis award of TU Dortmund (Dissertationspreis 2006) and the VDE price for the best MSc thesis (VDE Preis Rhein/Ruhr 2002). He is a member of VDE/ITG and a Senior Member of IEEE. Professor Pachnicke is serving on the technical program committee of the European Conference of Optical Communication (ECOC) and on ITG technical committee KT3 (optical communications).
