Prof. Dr. Leonhard Reindl received his Ph.D. from the University of Technology Vienna in 1997. Then, he joined the surface acoustics wave group of the Siemens Corporate Technology division, where he contributed to the development of SAW convolvers, dispersive, tapped and reflective delay lines. His primary interest was in the development and application of SAW ID-tag and wireless passive SAW sensor systems.

In April 1999, Leonhard Reindl joined the Institute of Electrical Information Technology at the Clausthal University of Technology where he became a Professor of communication and microwave techniques.

Since 2003, Prof. Dr. Leonhard Reindl has been working as a professor at the Laboratory for Electrical Instrumentation, Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) at the University of Freiburg. He holds more than 30 patents on SAW devices and wireless passive sensors and has authored or co-authored more than 200 papers in this field. His research interests include wireless sensor and identification systems, Surface Acoustic Wave devices and materials as well as microwave communication systems based on SAW devices.
