Lars Nockenberg

Lars Nockenberg is a PhD candidate and Scientific Staff member at the Chair of Media Technology of the Technical University of Munich. He works on vibrotactile codecs and machine learning applications in haptic communication.

• B.Sc. Electrical Engineering (2019)
• M.Sc. Electrical Engineering (2022)

His research focuses on signal processing and machine learning for haptic communication, including vibrotactile compression and multimodal tactile signal modeling. His publications (2023–2025) address topics like perceptual clustering, autoencoder-based compression, and standards for tactile internet applications.

Lars contributes to projects such as the Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop (CeTI), 5G Testbed Bayern, and KMU-Innovativ: KIMaps. His work is published in venues including IEEE Transactions on Haptics, ICASSP, and World Haptics Conference.
