Stefan Donath

 

The purpose of this WebSite is to introduce myself and my scientific life.

After I was born on January 14, 1981 in Lichtenfels, I grew up in a small village called "Grundfeld", located in the near of the famous church Vierzehnheiligen (build by Balthasar Neumann). There I attended the High Schools Meranier-Gymnasium in Lichtenfels and the Gymnasium in Burgkunstadt, where I passed my High School Diploma in May 2000.

In July 1998, just before I changed to the Gymnasium in Burgkunstadt, I started my own business establishment, called DONATH° PRODUCTIONS. In the beginning, the official head of this business was my father, Norbert Donath. Originally, the core bussines was selling computer hardware components and systems.

After passing the High School Diploma, I decided for the military replacement service at the Red Cross in Lichtenfels. There I was a driver in meal delivery service and transportation of disabled.

In October 2001 I startet my studies at the University of Erlangen, Germany. I began with the Bachelors program in Computational Engineering. Since that time I am staying at my second residence in Erlangen, Germany. It was also the time when I took over leadership of DONATH° PRODUCTIONS. Now, the core bussines changed to development of customer-specific databases. The Bachlors program's technical application field is design of microelectronics. Afer having finished my Bachelor-Thesis at the Regional Computing Center of Erlangen, professor Rüde invited me to present my results on the SIAM Conference on Computational and Scientific Engineering 2005 in Orlando, Florida.

In October 2004 I started my studies in the Masters program. Here, I deepened all the knowledge of the Bachelors period.
During the studies, I worked as assistant at the department "IC-Design digital" of the Fraunhofer Institue for Integrated Circuits in Tennenlohe, Germany. Continuing this work, I will compose my Master-Thesis.
I also continued the work at the Regional Computing Center, which resulted in a project I used for the elite studies. On this project I prepared a paper, which was accepted for the proceedings of the ASIM2005 conference, where I was allowed to give a talk presenting my results.
