Jakob Janting received the M.Sc. degree in materials science from the University of Aarhus, Denmark, in 1991 and the Ph.D. degree in 2008 for the thesis entitled “Reliability of Polymer Adhesive and Coating Materials for Microsystem Packaging.” He was a Researcher with the Tribology Department, University of Aarhus, from 1991 to 1994 in an EU project, where he was researching micro focus X-ray strain measurements. In 1994, he joined the Department for Sensors, Grundfos Research, where he worked in a National Project on Materials for advanced MEMS sensor packaging. From 1998 to 2011, he was employed with DELTA Danish Electronics, Light, and Acoustics, with a focus on polymer microsystem encapsulation. From 2011 to 2015, he was with Medtronic, where he researched reliable packaging of an on-body combined electrochemical and fiber-optical microsensor device for continuous blood glucose monitoring and insulin delivery. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in 2015, Researcher in 2017 and Senior Researcher 2020 with the Fiber Sensors and Supercontinuum Group, the Department of Photonics Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, where he is currently focusing on microstructured polymer optical fiber bio/chemical sensors.
