Ulrich Jakobus height - How tall is Ulrich Jakobus?

In January 2018 he was appointed Senior Vice President - Electromagnetic Solutions at Altair.

In 2002 he founded EM Software and Systems GmbH in Böblingen, Germany and has been its director since then. In 2014 Altair acquired EM Software and Systems-S.A. and Jakobus became Vice President of Electromagnetic Solutions at Altair.

In 2000 he became director of EM Software and Systems-S.A. (Pty) Ltd. in Stellenbosch, South Africa and product manager for FEKO with focus on development of FEKO.

From 1991 to 2000 he was employed by the Institut für Hochfrequenztechnik (Institute for High-Frequency Technology) at the University of Stuttgart where he became a lecturer in Radio Frequency Technology. His research included numerical techniques in electromagnetics, antennas, electromagnetic compatibility, and bioelectromagnetics. His research laid the foundations for the commercial electromagnetics code FEKO. This software code can be used as a means of performing numerical experiments to answer various “what if” questions that usually arise during electromagnetic design tasks.

Ulrich Jakobus (born 1967) is Senior Vice President - Electromagnetic Solutions of Altair, Germany and was awarded Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2013 for leadership in hybrid computational tool development and commercialization. His research laid the foundations for the commercial electromagnetics code FEKO which is used in antenna design, antenna placement, electromagnetic compatibility, microwave components, bioelectromagnetics, radar cross section and related fields.

Jakobus was born in 1967 in Kirchheim unter Teck, Germany to Manfred Jakobus and Ingrid Jakobus (née Gabriel).
