Dr. Elena Mayer

Curriculum Vitae

Elena Mayer received the Dipl. Phys. degree in 1983 from the Lomonosov-University in Moscow, USSR, and the Ph.D degree in 1994 from the Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics of the Russian Academy of Sciences with a dissertation about reflection of SAW at strong surface corrugation and quasi-periodic structures.

From 1983 to 1998 she was an engineer and then a scientific staff member of the acoustoelectronics group of Prof. V. Plessky in the Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Fryasino (near Moscow). There she was engaged in theoretical research on problems of SAW propagation on crystal surfaces with strong corrugation. She was also involved in the development of some acousto-electronic devices, such as dispersive delay lines.

In 1995 she spent one and a half months at the Institute for Surface and Interface Science of the University of California in Irvine, where she worked on the propagation of acoustic waves on solid surfaces with randomly distributed oscillators and on nonlinear wedge waves.

From 1998 to July 2005 she was employed at EPCOS AG as a development engineer in the Department of Research & Development, SAW Division, Munich. Here, she worked on the improvement of models for simulation tools which allowed for the calculation of electrical properties of SAW high-frequency filters. She also provided model data for these tools.

Since October 2005, Elena Mayer is a member of the scientific staff at the Laboratory for Electrical Instrumentation at the Departement of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK), University of Freiburg, Germany. She is working on the DFG project "Piezo-electric high-temperature materials: Langasite and isomorphic materials".
