معرفی
Giovanni Del Galdo is a full Professor at the Technische Universität Ilmenau, where he leads the Electronic Measurement Technology and Signal Processing (EMS) group within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. He also maintains an affiliation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS. Since 2012, he has directed a research group comprising both a Fraunhofer department and a university chair, which expanded to approximately 60 staff members following a 2016 merger with another research group.
Del Galdo received his Laurea degree in Telecommunications Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2002 and his Dr.-Ing. from TU Ilmenau in 2007 under Prof. Martin Haardt, with a dissertation titled "Geometry-based Channel Modeling for Multi-User MIMO Systems and Applications." Prior to his current position, he worked as a Senior Scientist at Fraunhofer IIS and was a member of the International Audio Laboratories Erlangen, where he focused on audio watermarking and spatial sound representation.
His research spans multidimensional signal processing, wireless communications, and advanced measurement techniques. He specializes in channel modeling, MIMO systems, Over-The-Air testing, and high-resolution parameter estimation methods including compressed sensing. His work addresses challenges from sub-THz frequencies to practical industrial applications.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals strong focus on wireless channel characterization, particularly for 5G/6G and V2X applications. His research integrates theoretical signal processing with practical measurement systems, often developing novel hardware implementations for real-world testing scenarios. Key application areas include automotive communications, industrial measurement systems, and next-generation wireless technologies.
Del Galdo actively supervises numerous research projects and has extensive experience with laboratory testbed development for wireless systems validation. His group maintains advanced facilities for channel sounding, OTA testing, and signal processing algorithm development, supporting both academic research and industry collaboration.
