Short CV: Ingo Fischer

Ingo FischerIngo Fischer received his Diploma and Ph.D. degrees in physics from Philipps University, Marburg, Germany, in 1992 and 1995, respectively.
He was an Assistant Professor and Senior Scientist at Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, from 1995 to 2004, and at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium, from 2005 to 2007. During these periods he had research visits or guest professor invitations at Nonlinear Optics Center, Albuquerque (NM), USA, at ATR Advanced Communications Research Laboratories, Kyoto, Japan, and at the Universitat de les Illes Balears, Palma de Mallorca, Spain. In 2007, he became a Full Professor and Chair in Integrated Systems in Photonics at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, U.K.  Since 2009, he has been a Professor (CSIC) at the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems IFISC (UIB-CSIC), Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

His current research interests concentrate on nonlinear photonics and in particular, the emission properties and dynamics of modern photonic sources, neuro-inspired information processing, coupled laser systems, networks of lasers, synchronization of lasers and neurons, and utilization of chaos. Ingo Fischer has a long teaching experience, receiving excellent student evaluations. His teaching record comprises undergraduate and graduate courses, including Electromagnetism, Nonlinear Photonics, Optical Metrology and Instrumentation, Remote Sensors and Fiber Optics, Physical Electronics, among several others. Ingo Fischer has published more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals which have been cited more than 4500 times (WoS). He has received the Research Prize of the Adolf-Messer Foundation in 2000, and the first Hassian Cooperation Prize of the Technology Transfer Network in 2004.
