H. W. Gierlich was born in 1957 in Bergisch Gladbach, FRG. In 1976 he graduated from high school and began his studies of electro technique at the university RWTH Aachen. In 1983 he received his diploma and from 1983 March to 1988 December he worked at the Institute for Communication Engineering at RWTH, Aachen. In 1988 February he received a Ph. D. in electrical engineering. In 1988 he was the leader of the acoustic research group at this institute. In 1989 he joined HEAD acoustics Inc. in Aachen where he was as vice president responsible for research and development. Since 1999 he is head of the HEAD acoustics telecom division. He is mainly involved in acoustics, specifically psychoacoustics, binaural simulation, measurement technology and speech transmission in telecommunication. His main activities are in the fields of speech intelligibility and speech quality especially in modern telecommunication systems, binaural signal processing especially binaural simulation technology and digital signal processing. He is active in the international standardization organizations ITU-T, ETSI, 3GPP, IEEE and TIA as well as in the national standardization DIN/DKE and VDA.
He is author of more than 150 scientific papers in the field of binaural technology, telecommunication and signal processing published in various magazines and proceedings. H. W. Gierlich holds three patents in the field of telecommunication and two patents in binaural technology. He is member of ASA, IEEE, DEGA and VDE. He is chair of the DEGA committee “Speech Communication”.
