Biography
Peter Gruber finished his graduate and Ph.D. studies both in electrical engineering at the Federal Institute of Technology, ETHZ in Zürich, Switzerland. After 20 years of applied research work with Landis & Gyr and Siemens in the field of instrumentation, signal processing and control in Zug, Switzerland, he started 2002 as head of the development of ultrasonic flow meters with Rittmeyer, Baar, Switzerland. Additionally he is since long a lecturer in control at the Hochschule Luzern.
