Josef Nossek

Prof. Josef Nossek is a Full Professor of Network Theory and Signal Processing at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. His research focuses on signal processing in mobile communications, multi-antenna systems deployment, and technical/physical constraints in communication systems. He holds visiting professorships at UC Berkeley, Vienna University of Technology, and Pazmany University in Budapest.

Before joining TUM in 1989, he worked at Siemens AG as Head of Microwave Radio Systems Development. He is a Fellow of IEEE and a member of acatech (German Academy of Science and Engineering). Notable awards include the Federal Cross of Merit (2008), IEEE Education Award (2008), and Bavaria's Prize for Good Teaching (1998).

His research interests emphasize practical applications of signal processing theory, including MIMO systems, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), and antenna array design. His work bridges theoretical foundations with real-world constraints to optimize wireless communication performance.
