Matthias Fertig

Professor Matthias Fertig serves as Professor of Digital Systems at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Konstanz University of Applied Sciences. His academic profile bridges theoretical research with practical engineering applications in digital systems design.

His research portfolio spans several critical domains:

• Near-/In-Memory Computing (Universal Memory Automata theory)
• Digital HDL Design methodology (RAPID VHDL package development)
• Massively Parallel EM-Simulation optimization
• Computational Optics using advanced Fourier methods (WPM/VWPM)
• ASIC design and implementation workflows

Prior to academia, Professor Fertig gained substantial industry experience at IBM (microprocessor design), Dialog Semiconductor (Power Management ICs), and Volvo Construction Equipment (control systems for heavy machinery). This background informs his practical teaching approach that emphasizes real-world applications alongside theoretical foundations.

His professional recognition includes an invitation to join the Editorial Board of the American Journal of Computer Science and Technology (AMJCST) in May 2025. Professor Fertig actively develops new course content, with a 'uProcessor Architecture' course scheduled for summer term 2026.

He teaches across the curriculum from undergraduate Digital Engineering courses through specialized Master's level laboratories in Silicon Photonics and Electromagnetic Simulation, utilizing industry-standard Cadence tools to provide students with professional design experience.
