Broad expertise in research and industry
Prof. Kuhn studied materials science at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg and completed his doctorate there. He has many years of international experience in the semiconductor industry and has held various management positions at Siemens and Infineon. His work focussed on the areas of automation, research & development and smart systems. Prof Kuhn has held the Chair of Smart Systems Integration at Chemnitz University of Technology since 2020.

Driving forward networking and knowledge exchange in the high-tech sector
He is now looking forward to his new role at the industry-orientated sector association IVAM with anticipation and clear ideas. „Microtechnology forms the basis for tackling the key technological challenges facing our society and is an enabler for the development of future key technologies. Cross-industry networking of expertise between research and industry is crucial for success in order to drive innovation, transfer it quickly into usable solutions and thus jointly secure advantages in the international competitive environment. As Chairman of the Advisory Board, I would like to do all I can to support IVAM in driving forward this networking and knowledge exchange in our high-tech sector as a value-add. I am looking forward to exciting encounters, interesting discussions and constructive collaboration," says Prof Kuhn, explaining the motivation behind his commitment.
"We are delighted to have Prof Kuhn, a proven international expert in smart systems and automation technology, on board. We are also particularly pleased to further intensify our many years of good cooperation with Fraunhofer ENAS," said Dr Thomas Dietrich, Managing Director of IVAM.
