Professor Emeritus from HTW Berlin

Hans L. Cycon is Professor emeritus from HTW Berlin, University of Applied Sciences Berlin. After receiving his Dipl. Ing. in Communication Technology (FH Konstanz) in 1965, he received his Diploma in Physics in 1975, his PhD in Mathematics in 1979 and his habilitation in 1984 at the Technical University Berlin. He worked for five years managing software development of telecommunication systems for Siemens Ltd in Berlin. Research activities led him to the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences New York University, CALTEC in Pasadena, Old Dominion University in Virginia and ICSI at University of California Berkeley . He was Associate Director of Daviko GmbH Berlin and lecturer at University of Reading, England.

He was a member of the ITU/ISO standardization committee for JPEG 2000 still image standard and as a member of the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society he co-organized several ICCE conferences in Berlin.

His publication fields are mathematical physics and signal processing i.e., image coding. Recent publications deal with e- Learning using video-based techniques. Hans L. Cycon has been leading several projects in developing wavelet-based still image and video compression codecs.

Since 2008 he teaches mathematics at HTW Berlin as associate lecturer.
