Hannes Frey

Hannes Frey is Professor and Head of the Computer Networks Research Group at the University of Koblenz and Landau. His research focuses on the controllability of complex dynamically networked systems including sensor networks, mobile autonomous robot teams, and connected vehicles. The group investigates fundamental theoretical questions and system-level practical issues, with emphasis on transferring theoretical results into practice through prototype implementations.

Research interests include:

• Connectivity and percolation in wireless networked systems
• Local topology control under graph structure assumptions
• Cooperative distributed control for wirelessly networked mobile robots
• Reliable ultra-low latency communication for autonomous platforms
• Software Defined Networking for IoT systems

The group maintains the UniKoRN laboratory for practical research in wireless communication and mobile distributed robotics, supporting research internships and student projects.
