Stefan Bruhn received his degree in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Berlin in 1988, and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Berlin in 1995. His thesis dissertation was titled “Speech coding at very low bit rates using lossless and lossy inter-block codes.” He joined Ericsson in 1995, and worked as a Research Engineer for Ericsson in Germany and Sweden from 1995 until 2000. In 2001, he became a Senior Specialist in Speech/Audio Coding for Ericsson Research, and since 2008 he has held a position Expert Media Codec Technologies. In his work for Ericsson Research, Stefan Bruhn performed research and development of algorithms for media (focus speech and audio) processing, compression, transport, adaptation and session negotiation. He has also acted as a technical expert in support of other functions within Ericsson, including patent development.
Stefan Bruhn has a long experience in standardization in the areas of on speech/audio coding, quality assessment, transport. He acted as Ericsson representative in 3GPP, ETSI, GSMA, OIPF, IETF, DVB-H, and worked on the development of strategies in the context of media codec research & development and standardization. He was involved as a rapporteur of numerous 3GPP standards (AMR, AMR-WB, AMR-WB+) and he has guided the most recent 3GPP speech codec standardization (EVS) as the chairman of the related technical subworking group.
Stefan Bruhn is inventor/co-inventor of more than 50 patent applications, and in 2004 he was honored with Ericsson’s “Inventor of the Year” award as a result of his work to develop better communication technology solutions. He has authored/co-authored more than 35 publications and papers.
