Christoph Zimmer received the M.Sc. degree in Electronics Engineering from the Hochschule Bremen (City University of Applied Sciences), Germany, in November 2015.

Within a joint research project between the Institute of Water-Acoustics, Sonar-Engineering and Signal-Theory (IWSS) and ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH, Bremen, he prepared his Master Thesis entitled “Development of a Simulation Environment for the Design of a Sonar Signal Processing Chain”. His Bachelor Thesis entitled “Mean Shift Algorithmus zur Bildsegmentierung” was also part of a research collaboration between the IWSS and ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH.

Since March 2016 Christoph Zimmer is working as a research associate at the University of Wuppertal in collaboration with ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH and the IWSS at the Hochschule Bremen. He is working towards his PhD degree in the field of Numerical Methods for Designing and Optimizing active and passive sonar antannae. Furthermore, he is lecturer at the faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science where he is teaching Mathematics for Engineers as well as Underwater Acoustics and Sonar Signal Processing.
