Before, Jens has worked on Technical Strategy & Planning at the IBM Research-Zurich laboratory as Technical Assistant to Alessandro Curioni, IBM Fellow, VP Europe and Director IBM Research-Zurich and as Zurich Research Lab advocate for IBM’s Global Technology Outlook, which examines trajectories of new technologies in the marketplace and its implications for the society and IBM. He served as Manager of research teams in the areas of "Storage Techniques for Big Data" and "Tape Technologies" at IBM Research - Zurich that he joined as a research staff member in 2001. He has worked in the fields of digital signal processing for wireless LANs and for magnetic recording, especially on advanced signal processing techniques for the tape read channels and on servo control aspects to improve the storage capacity and reliability of tape systems, as well as on techniques for Big Data storage systems. He received the M.Sc./Dipl.-Ing. and PhD. degrees from the Dresden University of Technology, Germany, in 1995 and 2001, respectively. After his diploma, he worked in the field of speech recognition. In July 1996, he joined the Mannesmann Mobilfunk Chair for Mobile Communications Systems at Dresden University of Technology, where his main research interests included digital signal processing, smart antennas and spatial dimension reduction problems.
