The obituary notice of Dr Jürgen RICHTER

I am very saddened to hear of Jurgen's passing, we weren't close friends but had maintained a connection over 30years, we first met at Cardiff University motorcycle club, fond memories of rides out, bumping into him at Clwb Ifor Bach and many a chat in our kitchen or front door step! May your soul ride on xxx

Mein lieber „alter“ Nachbar, du bist bei jedem Lagerfeuer bei mir. Ich freue mich drauf, das nächste Mal mit dir in der Wärme zu sitzen - dieses Mal bringe ich auch die Box mit.
In Gedanken an dich,
Deine Franzi

Jurgen was one of the loveliest guys I had the pleasure to know. The first character on the rock and metal scene that I was introduced to and always had time to say hi and check in on me, always a smile and a cheers for everyone, part of the furniture. Thanks for always being so kind and looking out for me, you really were so well thought of and will be missed by so many people. RIP dude, you earned it x

Tribute to Dr. Jürgen Richter

It is with a heavy heart that I received the sudden news of the passing of Dr. Jürgen Richter.

Jürgen was more than just a lecturer to me during my MSc studies—he was also part of my PhD supervisory team, a colleague in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and above all, a mentor whose dedication to teaching and research left a lasting impression on everyone privileged to work with him.
Jürgen had a unique way of inspiring confidence in his students and colleagues. His lectures were never just about technical knowledge; they carried with them his genuine enthusiasm, patience, and kindness. He gave his time generously, guiding us through both academic challenges and personal growth. Many of us carry forward lessons we learned from him—not just about engineering, but about perseverance, humility, and collaboration.

His sudden departure is a great loss to the Wireless Research Group, the wider university community, and to all of us who had the privilege to know him. Yet, I believe his legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched, the careers he helped shape, and the knowledge he imparted.

To my fellow colleagues, classmates, and students who once shared in Jürgen’s teaching and guidance: I encourage you to also share your memories and tributes here. Together, we can celebrate a life so meaningful and impactful, and give honor to the enduring mark he has left on our hearts and minds.

Rest in peace, Dr. Jürgen Richter. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Dr Jürgen was a great individual and an excellent nurturer of talent. He taught me Antenna and arrays...his passion in the class and labs were truly inspiring and phenomenal. A great mentor indeed...
