Senior Scientist

We are working on future 6G technologies such as AI / machine learning (ML), joint communication and sensing, 3D network architecture (including satellite communication) and energy-efficient networks. We address fundamental scientific and technical challenges to ensure, for example, dramatically reduced energy consumption without compromising quality of service, in favor of higher data rates and lower latency.
