He joined the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS) in Erlangen, Germany, in 1989. There he has been involved in the development of perceptual coding algorithms for high-quality audio, including the well-known ISO/MPEG-Audio Layer III\\xa0 coder (aka \\u201cMP3\\u201d). In 1995, he joined Bell Laboratories for a PostDoc term working on the development of MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding (AAC).\\xa0 By the end of 1996, he went back to Fraunhofer IIS to work on the development of more advanced multimedia technology including MPEG-4,\\xa0 MPEG-7, MPEG-D, MPEG-H and MPEG-I, currently as the Chief Executive\\xa0 Scientist for the Audio/Multimedia activities at Fraunhofer IIS,\\xa0 Erlangen. In September 2010, Prof. Dr. Herre was appointed full professor at the University of Erlangen and the International Audio\\xa0 Laboratories Erlangen. He is an expert in low-bit-rate audio coding/perceptual audio coding, spatial audio coding, parametric audio object coding, perceptual signal processing and semantic audio processing.\\xa0 Prof. Dr.-Ing. Herre is a fellow member of the Audio Engineering Society\\xa0 (AES), chair of the AES Technical Committee on Coding of Audio Signals and vice chair of the AES Technical Council. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Juergen\\xa0 Herre is a senior member of the IEEE, a member of the IEEE Technical\\xa0 Committee on Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing, served as an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing and was an active member of the MPEG audio subgroup for almost three decades.\\n\\nJuergen explains the science of the key technology concepts behind the worldwide adopted family of MPEG codecs and we discuss the latest addition of the reference model for the virtual and augmented reality audio standard - MPEG-I Immersive Audio.\\n\\nThis episode was produced by Oliver Kadel and Emma Rees and included music by Rhythm Scott.\\n\\nFor extended show notes and more information on this episode go to immersiveaudiopodcast.com\\n\\nIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to show your support, please consider becoming a Patreon.
