Ulrich Lothar Albert Rohde (born May 20, 1940 in Munich) is a German and American electrical engineer, entrepreneur, and university professor.

Education and career

After receiving his Abitur in Munich, Rohde studied electrical engineering at the Technische Hochschule München and the Technische Hochschule Darmstadt. In 1978, he received a doctorate in radio-frequency engineering and joined the Epsilon Sigma chapter of the Eta Kappa Nu society;[1][2] he then completed an executive business administration programme at Columbia University in 1980.[2] He received his Dr.-Ing. degree (doctorate in engineering) from the Technical University of Berlin in 2004, and his habilitation from the Brandenburg University of Technology in 2011.[1][3]

Since 1973, Rohde has been a partner of Rohde & Schwarz in Munich, his father's company. From 1974 to 1982, he headed the US branch of Rohde & Schwarz; after that, he was managing director of an RCA defence subsidiary.[1][3]

In 1977, Rohde was appointed as a professor at the University of Florida, and in 1982 at the George Washington University as an adjunct professor, of electrical engineering.[3][2]
