Personal Information

Informal Biography

I was born in 1968 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. In 1974, I moved to Dortmund, where I went to elementary school and the first two years of high school. In 1981, I moved to Gevelsberg, a small city, where I graduated from the Städtisches Gymnasium in 1987.

After 20 Months of alternative civilian service, where I worked with handicapped people instead of military service, I finally started my academic career in electrical engineering at the Ruhr-Universität in Bochum in 1989. I majored in electromagnetics, electrooptics and electronic circuits and metrology. After a pretty average time, I graduated in 1996 and joined the department of Theoretical Electrical Engineering as a PhD student. My graduation thesis with the title Investigation of the Field Structure in TEM Cells has been among the 6 best papers of the IEEE Region 8 Student Paper Contest.

In 1998, I joined the Computational Electromagnetics Group at the Faculty of Engineering of the Christian-Albrechts University at Kiel. I successfully defended my PhD thesis titled Hybrid Field Analysis of the Canonical GTEM-Cell - An Object-Oriented Approach on December 18, 2003.

Since September 2002, I am with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of Kentucky, located in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. Here, I work with Dr. Gedney on the full-wave electromagnetic simulation of mixed-signal microwave integrated circuits.

Family Status

Yep, I'm married since 1997. My wife Regina earned her PhD at the Department of Theoretical Electrical Engineering at the University of Kassel and is also currently working with me on the same project here in Lexington. Due to the marriage, my name has changed, so you may also know me under my old name Jens Klimaschewski.
