The Founders

As founders of Creonic we, Dr. Matthias Alles and Dr. Timo Lehnigk-Emden, stand for high quality and state-of-the art products. We offer years of experience in the field of simulation and implementation for ASICs and FPGAs. Our list of selected publications gives a comprehensive overview of Creonic’s achievements.  

Timo Lehnigk-Emden, the founder of Creonic GmbH, is an experienced professional with a background in electrical engineering and a focus on communications technology. He studied from 1999 to 2005 at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, where he specialized in Communications Engineering to deepen his knowledge in this field.

In 2004, he gained practical experience through an internship at Nokia Bell Labs (formerly Alcatal-Lucent) in Stuttgart, Germany, where he focused on fiber optic technology. In 2005, Timo completed his diploma thesis entitled "LDPC Decoding Algorithms under Quantization Effects", which further deepened his knowledge in the area of LDPC code decoding. Driven by his passion for cutting-edge technologies, Timo completed an internship at Xilinx headquarters in San Jose, California in 2010. During this internship, he gained valuable insights into high-level synthesis for FPGA through his work with AutoESL.

From 2005 to 2010, Timo worked as a research assistant in the Microelectronic Systems Design group at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. During this time, Timo made significant contributions to both research and industry projects, actively participating in five of each.

In 2011, Timo successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis entitled "Implementation and Simulation Aspects of Advanced Non-Binary Iterative Coding Schemes". His dissertation demonstrated his expertise in the implementation and simulation of advanced non-binary coding schemes.

Since 2010, Timo Lehnigk-Emden is the managing partner of Creonic GmbH. Under his leadership, Creonic has become a leading provider of innovative solutions in the field of digital communication.

Timo Lehnigk-Emden's career highlights his expertise in communications technology, non-binary coding schemes and microchip design. His contributions to research, practical experience and leadership have been instrumental to Creonic's success.

Matthias Alles, the founder of Creonic GmbH, is an accomplished professional with a background in information technology and digital circuit design. He completed his studies "with distinction" at the University of Kaiserslautern, specializing in digital circuit design and digital signal processing.

During his studies, Matthias focused on developing flexible decoder architectures, as evidenced by his theses on "A flexible IRA LDPCC Decoder Architecture for FPGAs" (2005) and "Synthesisable IP Cores for Irregular LDPC Code Decoding Based on Highly Flexible Architecture Templates" (2006).

Matthias pursued a Ph.D. at the University of Kaiserslautern from 2006 to 2010, contributing to various research and industry projects. His research primarily involved implementing standard-compliant channel decoders for LDPC codes and turbo codes, and he successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis, "Implementation Aspects of Advanced Channel Decoding," with the highest distinction.

Since 2010, Matthias has been the Managing Partner of Creonic GmbH. Under his leadership, Creonic has become a leading provider of innovative digital communications solutions and IP cores.

Matthias Alles's career highlights his expertise in digital circuit design and channel decoding, driving advancements in the field and contributing to Creonic's success.
