Joerg Kliewer
Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering
213 Electrical and Computer Engineering Center (ECEC)
About Me
Dr. Joerg Kliewer received the Dipl.-Ing. (MSEE) degree in Electrical Engineering from the Hamburg University of Technology, Hamburg, Germany, in 1993 and the Dr.-Ing. degree (Ph.D.) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Kiel, Kiel, Germany, in 1999, respectively. From 1993 to 1998 he was a Research Assistant at the University of Kiel, Germany, and from 1999 to 2004, he was a Senior Researcher and Lecturer with the same institution. In 2004, he visited the University of Southampton, Southampton, U.K., for one year, and from 2005 until 2007, he was with the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN, as a Visiting Assistant Professor. From August 2007 until December 2013 he was with New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM, as an as an Assistant and most recently as an Associate Professor. In January 2014 he joined the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ, as an Associate Professor.
