Dr. Thiel received his qualifications in Electrical Engineering from Munich Technical University. After his studies, he worked at the University of the German Armed Forces at the Institute of High Frequency Electronics. The institute is famous for its ground laying work on active mobile antennas (e.g. automotive in-glass) and applications of High Frequency Electronics in medicine. In 1995, Dr. Thiel completed his thesis on algorithms for control of high frequency surgery units and received his PhD.
After that Dr. Thiel took an engineering position at the infotainment division of BMW´s electronics R&D department. He became one of the key architects of the infotainment system of the new 7Series. Dr. Thiel took responsibility for the development of the MOST multimedia network. With the 7Series, his group did the lead development of MOST for the automotive industry. He co-founded the MOST Cooperation, one of the most successful cooperations within the industry and represented BMW on its Steering Committee. Realizing that the growing functional complexity of modern infotainment systems needed new approaches, Dr. Thiel established a group for Systems Engineering. He was instrumental in introducing processes for functional system design and bottom-up system integration within the BMW organization.
Mid of 2002, Dr. Thiel joined OASIS SiliconSystems AG as Vice President in charge of strategic business development and marketing. Bringing in his expertise from his former position as a system integrator, he initiated the OASIS Intelligent Network Interface Controller products. Dr. Thiel holds more than 10 patents. |
