= Bernd Ulmann = Bernd Ulmann (born July 19, 1970 in Neu-Ulm) is a German Computer scientist, mathematician, and university professor. He is a professor at the University of Economics & Management in Frankfurt am Main.

Life and Work
Bernd Ulmann studied mathematics and philosophy at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz from 1989 to 1996 after graduating from high school. He wrote his diploma thesis on cryptography and number theory. In 2009, he earned his doctorate at the University of Hamburg under Gudrun Wolfschmidt (Fascination Analog Computing - History and Fundamentals of Electronic Analog Computers). Since April 2010, Ulmann has been working as a professor of business informatics at the University of Economics & Management in Frankfurt am Main.

In 1999, he founded the company Raven Information Technologies GmbH in Bad Schwalbach. In 2000, he opened a museum for mainframe computers – especially VAX and Alpha processors – in Heidenrod-Kemel Additionally, Ulmann maintains a globally unique collection of analog computer systems in Bad Schwalbach. Ulmann was the founder and spokesperson of the Development-SIG. Ulmann war Gründer und Sprecher der Development-SIG and deputy spokesperson of the Research and Teaching SIG at Connect Germany.

Among his developments in hardware and software are the 16-bit processor QNICE and the programming language 5 (Five)..

One of his goals is the miniaturization of analog computers to chip size, which should be "faster than any digital computer" and consume "one hundredth of the energy". In 2020, he founded anabrid GmbH with his colleagues Dr. Sven Köppel and Lars Heimann to pursue this goal.
