Research For Impact

20 years of my 30 years career were dedicated to research, and I loved every moment of it! I have always strived for impact, trying to uncover new research areas and then making impact through patents, publications & keynotes, standards, techno-policy contributions and – whenever possible – a startup.

I supervised more than a hundred MSc and dozens of PhD research theses, and inspired some students to become academics and leaders of their own right. I have also published more than 300 peer-reviewed articles, many books and book chapters.

From a research point of view, I contributed to and co-pioneered three research fields: 4G/5G/6G Protocols and Architectures; the Internet of Things; and the Internet of Skills. They are explained in more detail below, and I am particularly proud of having ensured that parts of my inventions made it to the market.

I am recognized as a Top-1% Cited Scientist globally across all science fields and all times by a Stanford / Elsevier study and have an h-index of 74 as per Google Scholar.
