Dr. Henning SchmidtContact Information
BackgroundHenning Schmidt received his MSc degree in Electrical Engineering as a double diploma from the Technical University Darmstadt and from the Ecole Supérieure d'Electricité in Paris in 1997. After his undergraduate studies he spent two years in different R&D departments at a major automotive company, where he worked on dynamic modeling of mechatronic systems and designed complex control algorithms found in state-of-the-art electronic motor control systems, was the (co)author of several patents, and subsequently was appointed teamleader for the development of a complex mechantronic subsystem.Interested in further academic training, he started his PhD studies in 1999 in the automatic control group at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. During these studies he shifted his research focus from mechatronic and process systems to biological systems. In 2004, he took an applied researcher position in Systems Biology at the Fraunhofer-Chalmers Research Center for Industrial Mathematics (FCC) in Gothenburg, Sweden. At FCC he lead an industrial project involving modeling, simulation and analysis of the canine atrium. Furthermore, he worked on several modeling projects with a focus on metabolic systems, systematic modeling approaches, parameter estimation and model reduction methods, and associated computational tools. Due to the lack of powerful, user-friendly, and extensible computational tools for modeling and analysis of biochemical systems he started the development of the Systems Biology Toolbox 2 for MATLAB. He made a very short stop at the University of Rostock, before starting as Senior Modeler in the Modeling and Simulation group of a major pharma company in Basel, Switzerland.
ActivitiesIn his freetime Henning enjoys photography & travelling, diving, geocaching, etc. |
