He is also the author of many technical articles and publications in the field of electronics design, author of the book "trilogy of inductors", co-author of various other textbooks and holds numerous patents. At Wurth Elektronik eiSos, he is a man of the first hour and founded the product development as well as the quality management.

Numerous Magnetics product designs and innovations are based on his constant research for more efficient components. Today the Rhinelander is responsible for the product strategy of Wurth Elektronik eiSos and thus for the areas of product management, quality management, supply chain management, research and development.
