The research activities of Prof. Nossek (b. 1947) are focused on signal processing, particularly in relation to technical and physical boundary conditions, which play a major role in mobile communication. He is especially interested in multi-antenna systems and their use for hot spots in conurbations, for instance.

After studying electrical engineering at TU Vienna, Prof. Nossek did his doctorate there in 1980 in cooperation with Siemens AG in Munich. He worked for Siemens up to 1989 and held several positions there, including Head of the Radio Systems Design Department and a member of senior management. He has been a full professor at TUM since 1989. He has worked as a visiting professor at the University of California at Berkeley, TU Vienna and Pazmany University Budapest. Prof. Nossek is a fellow of the IEEE, Vice President of the VDE and a member of acatech (German National Academy of Science and Engineering).
