Benjamin Lehmann received the B.Sc., M.Sc. and the Dr.-Ing. (Ph.D) degree in electrical engineering and information technology from the University of Wuppertal, Germany, in 2007, 2008 and 2012.

From 1998-2002 he was with Quante AG (3M), Wuppertal, Germany as an electronics technician (apprenticeship and skilled worker). After earning his PhD in industry in the field of image processing for automatic target recognition systems he joined the applied research department of ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH, Bremen, to work on algorithms for pattern recognition. After leading the development of synthetic aperture sonar systems for autonomous underwater vehicles he headed the engineering department for automation and autonomy and the ThyssenKrupp Marine System (tkMS) Centre of Competence for Autonomy.

Since 2011 he was also lecturer at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Hochschule Brenmen, where he was teaching the Fundamentals of Digital Image Processing, Pattern Recognition and Acoustics. From 2020 to 2022 he taught also the module Applied Autonomous Driving at the International University (IU) via Distance Learning.

In 2022 he joint the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Hochschule Bremen (City University of Applied Sciences), Bremen, Germany as a Professor for machine learning with application in engineering acoustics.

His main research interests lie in the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for advanced signal and image processing, Counter AI, underwater acoustics and sonar engineering.
