Waldemar Guilherme Kurten Ihlenfeld

Bachelor's at Universidade Federal do Paraná (1983), master's in electrical engineering with focus on electronic instrumentatiion from the Technical University Braunschweig - Germany (1995) and Ph.D (magna cum laude) in Electrotechnics, Electronic Measurement Techniques from the Technical University Braunschweig (1997). Pós-Doc at the University of Hannover in course. Since 1999 he holds the position of coordinator of the group for research and development of the Department of Electric Energy Measurements of the German National Institute of Metrology (the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt - PTB) Group 2.31 (see www.ptb.de). Nowadays he is working at INMETRO in Rio de Janeiro working on primary sampling standards development. From June 2013 until August 2016 he worked as a consultant for INMETRO and from August 2016 after this date worked as senior researcher until February 2018. From Frebruary 2018 until now he is with the National Research Council Canada (NRC) in Ottawa working as a Senior Research Officer in the field of quantum standards and developing precision instrumentation. He is also responsible for the laboratory of Radio-Frequency and Microwaves of NRC, which performs calibrations of microwave power, attenuation and scattering parameters up to frequencies of 70 GHz.
