Stephan Guttowski studied electrical engineering with a focus on measurement and automation technology at the Technical University of Berlin and subsequently earned his doctorate in electromagnetic compatibility. This was followed by a postdoctoral stay at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) in Cambridge, USA. After his return, he initially worked in the Electric Drives Research Laboratory of DaimlerChrysler AG and then moved to the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM. Here he was head of the Advanced System Development Group before he took over the System Design & Integration department. Since June 2017, he has been Technology Park Manager at the FMD and is in this role committed to cross-institute cooperation.
