About
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Robert Fischer has been a full professor for Communications and Signal Theory at the University of Ulm, Germany, since 2011. He specializes in fast digital transmission techniques, including single- and multicarrier modulation, with a focus on precoding and shaping methods for high-rate systems.
Research Interests: His work spans Precoding and Signal Shaping, Equalization Algorithms, OFDM Transmission Systems, Low-Complexity Receivers, MIMO and Multiuser Communications, Ultra-Wideband, Information Theory, Channel Coding, Physical-Layer Security, and Compressed Sensing. Recent publications emphasize applications in THz communication, MIMO systems, and compressed sensing.
Scientific Recognition: He has received multiple awards, including the
- Promotionspreis der Technischen Fakultät (1997)
- Literaturpreis der ITG (2000)
- Wolfgang-Finkelnburg-Habilitationspreis (2002)
- Philipp-Reis-Preis (2005)
- Christian Doppler Laboratory Industrial Award (2007)
- Best Paper Award at International OFDM Workshop (2012)
Teaching: At Ulm University, he teaches Signals and Systems, Communications Engineering, and MIMO Systems. Previously, he taught courses like Kanalcodierung (Channel Coding) at University Erlangen (1998–2010) and short courses at ETH Zürich and TU Berlin.
