Egon Zimmermann

Egon Zimmermann received the diploma degree in communications engineering from the Fachhochschule in Aachen, Division Jülich, Germany, and the diploma degree in electrical engineering from the Fernuniversitaet, Hagen, Germany, in 1986 and 1992, respectively. Since 1986, he has been working as an Engineer and, since 1992, as a Scientist at the Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Jülich, Germany, where he developed measurement systems for temperature measurements (Johnson noise thermometry), magnetic measurements (SQUID, GMR, and AMR electronics), and imaging systems (scanning SQUID microscopy and magnetoelectrical impedance tomography). He is the Leader of the Electrical and Magnetic Measurement Group, Central Institute for Electronics (ZEL), Jülich. His current research interests include the development of imaging systems, with a focus on the measurements of low-level electrical and magnetic signals.
