Martin
Hagenbuechle was born and grew up in the Southwestern corner of
Germany, close to Austria and Switzerland. After he received his
Ph.D. in physics from the University of Konstanz, Germany, he took a
position as a postdoctoral research associate at California State
University in Long Beach. About 20 publications document his
research in laser light scattering of complex fluids. In 1997 he
returned to Germany for one year to work as research associate at the
Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Micro Integration in
Berlin. Afterwards, Martin worked for Newport Corporation in
Irvine during the telecom/fiber optics craze as a technical lead in
photonics packaging development. He left Newport in 2001 and
joined Northrop Grumman Space Technology, formerly TRW, where he holds
the position of a staff engineer. At Northrop he has been heavily
involved in opto-electronic packaging and more recently in the thermal
analysis of spacecraft electronics. His professional interests
are in photonics, fiber optics, opto-electronic packaging, and medical
physics. Regarding his nomination as a councilor, he says: "I
am honored to be considered as a candidate for councilor of the OSSC.
And I am looking forward to get the opportunity to serve OSSC and to
give back to the community that has nurtured me in past years."
