Prof. Dr. Erich Wintermantel
Technische Universität München

Medical Engineering: Intrinsic Interdisciplinarity and Future Tasks 

Professor Erich Wintermantel studied medicine at the University of Tübingen and was a visiting student with Prof. Yasargil, the founder of microneurosurgery at the University Hospital in Zürich from 1977 - 1981. Following his M.D Ph.D. thesis he was a research fellow at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada (Prof. Charles Drake), the University of California Los Angeles (Prof. Bill House and House Ear Research Institute), the University of Montreal (Prof. Jules Hardy) and the University of Toulouse, France (Prof. Guy Lazorthes). After clinical training in neurosurgery with Prof. Loew in Homburg/Saar, in abdominal and orthopedic surgery at university hospitals in Germany, he joined the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich) in 1986 as senior assistant and scientific adjunct in mechanical engineering and lecturer in the design and manufacturing of medical implants and devices. He received his habilitation at ETH Zürich in 1991 in biomaterials science and engineering, and was an invited visiting scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1991 and in 1992 working together with Professor Robert Langer in biomaterials developing novel degradable scaffolds for tissue engineering and drug release systems.

Erich Wintermantel became full Professor at ETH Zurich in 1992 as well as chairman of the Chair of Biocompatible Materials Science and Engineering and he served as Head of the ETH Institute of Construction and Design Engineering from 1995 - 2000. He joined the Technische Universität München (TUM) in 2000 for designing and building up the new Central Institute for Medical Engineering which he headed from 2000 - 2005 and he initiated the new Masters Curriculum in Medical Engineering at TUM, the first one of its kind on university level in Germany. Erich Wintermantel currently holds the Chair of Medical Engineering and is Head of the Institute for Medical and Polymer Engineering at TUM. (www.medtech.mw.tum.de)

Prof. Dr. Erwin Hochmair
MED-EL Medical Electronics, Innsbruck, Austria

Cochlear Implants: Past and Current Challenges

Erwin Hochmair studied Electrical Engineering at the Technical University in Vienna (Dipl.Ing. 1964, Dr.techn. 1967).  In the following years he was research assistant there at the Institute of Physical Electronics, where he pursued research on electron beams for microwave applications, on semiconductor devices, and on circuit theory.  He was especially involved in the early stages of the application of CMOS-technology to analog circuits. From 1970 -1972 he was research associate at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, ALA.
In 1975 he started research on Cochlear Implants together with Ingeborg Desoyer (later Ingeborg Hochmair), who had just finished her studies in Electrical Engineering. In 1979 E. and I. Hochmair continued their research at the Stanford University, and from 1981 through 1989 they were consultants for 3M in St. Paul, MN.
After his habilitation in 1980 and continued research on CIs at the TU Vienna he was appointed full Professor for Applied Physics at the University of Innsbruck in 1985.  In 1993 – 1995 he was Dean at the Faculty of Natural Sciences. He emerited in 2009.
In 1989 E. and I. Hochmair established the Med-El Company in Innsbruck, which is now, with approx. 1500 employees, the worldwide second largest CI-manufacturer.
In 2004 he received an honorary doctorate in Medicine from the Technical University of Munich. He is the (co-)author of over 100 scientific articles and over 50 patents.
