Christoph Mecklenbräuker was born in Darmstadt, Germany, in 1967. He received the Dipl-Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering from Vienna University of Technology in 1992 and the Dr.-Ing. degree from Ruhr-University of Bochum in 1998, respectively. His doctoral thesis was awarded with the Gert Massenberg Prize.
From 1997-2000, he worked for the Mobile Networks Radio department of Siemens AG Austria where he participated in the European framework of ACTS 90 FRAMES. He was a delegate to the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and engaged in the standardisation of the radio access network for UMTS.
Since June 2000, he was a senior researcher at the Telecommunications Research Center Vienna (ftw.) in the field of mobile communications, key researcher since November 2002, and proxy since July 2003. Between 2006 and 2009, he coordinated the Sixth Framework project "Multiple-Access Space-Time Coding Testbed" (MASCOT) on behalf of ftw. He leads the Special Interest Group on mobile-to-mobile communications within COST Action 2100 Pervasive Mobile and Ambient Wireless Communications.
In 2006, he joined the Institute of Communications and Radio Frequency Engineering at Vienna University of Technology as a full professor. Since July 2009, he leads the newly founded Christian Doppler Laboratory for Wireless Technologies for Sustainable Mobility. His current research interests include radio interfaces for future peer-to-peer networks (car-to-car communications, personal area networks, and wireless sensor networks), ultra-wideband radio (UWB) and MIMO-OFDM based transceivers (UMTS long term evolution, WiMax, and 4G).
Christoph Mecklenbräuker is a member of the IEEE, the Antennas and Propagation Society, the Vehicular Technology society, the Signal Processing society, and EURASIP. He is the councilor of the IEEE Student Branch Wien. He is associate editor of the EURASIP Journal of Applied Signal Processing.
Christoph Mecklenbräuker's research interests include - Robust radio interfaces for future peer-to-peer networks
- car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communications
- wireless sensor networks with decentralised processing
- ultra-wideband radio (UWB)
- MIMO-OFDM based networks
