Michael Niedermayer

Prof. Michael Niedermayer holds a dual Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Economics from TU Berlin. He is a Professor at the Berlin School of Economics and Law (BHT) within the Department of Electrical Engineering and Mechatronics, specializing in sensor technology, wireless networks, and cost-driven microsystem design. His research focuses on self-sufficient sensor systems, energy-efficient networks, and industrial automation. He leads the Technology-Oriented Design Methods group at the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration.

He chairs the IARIA/IEEE ALLSENSORS conference series (since 2017) and serves on technical committees for sensor technology conferences globally. His work includes over 20 patents, including innovations in electronic circuit manufacturing, sensor networks, and cooling systems for microelectronics.

Publications highlight his contributions to cloud-based sensor networks, failure prediction systems, and cost optimization methodologies. His book Cost-Driven Design of Smart Microsystems (2011) is a seminal work in the field. Awards include the 2013 Best Paper Award at SENSORCOMM for his work on self-sufficient sensor systems.

Teaching spans courses like 'Fundamentals of Measurement Technology,' 'Sensor Networks,' and 'Intelligent Sensors,' reflecting his expertise in both theoretical and applied aspects of electrical engineering.
