Henk Wymeersch

Henk Wymeersch is a Professor at Chalmers University of Technology's Communication Systems department, part of the School of Electrical Engineering. He leads the Radio Localization and Sensing research area and is affiliated with the FORCE Research Center on optical communication. His work focuses on algorithm design and system analysis for 5G/6G systems, emphasizing integrated communication, localization, and sensing. Notable contributions include RIS-aided positioning, bistatic/multistatic sensing, and joint communication-sensing frameworks.

Research Interests: His primary areas include Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), 6G positioning/sensing, integrated ISAC systems, mmWave/V2X positioning, and distributed radar networks. Recent work explores challenges in near-field localization, OFDM-based ISAC under hardware impairments, and privacy-preserving techniques for localization systems.

Publications: Over 485 publications (2025) highlight his expertise in mmWave SLAM, RIS applications, and 6G enablers. Recent trends focus on 6G sustainability, distributed ISAC architectures, and leveraging RIS for robust localization in cluttered environments.

Affiliations: Active in the Communication Systems Group and FORCE Research Center. Collaborates internationally on Hexa-X 6G projects and standards development.
