Curriculum Vitae

Michael Feiginov received an MSc degree in physics and electrical engineering from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Russia) in 1994 and a PhD in physics of semiconductors and dielectrics from the Institute of Radio-Engineering and Electronics (IREE), Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) in Moscow (Russia) in 1999.

From 1994 to 2000, he worked at IREE RAS first as a Junior Scientist and later became a Senior Scientist.

In 2001 he joined the Chemnitz University of Technology (Germany), and the same year he was awarded Sofja Kovalevskaja Prize by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany. In 2002 he joined the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany) as a Senior Scientist, where he headed a THz research group for the next 11 years.

In 2013 he moved to Tokyo (Japan) to work at the Tokyo Institute of Technology for a year before joining the Frontier Research Centre of Canon Inc. In 2016 he was appointed as a Professor of high-frequency and THz electronics at TU Wien (Austria).
