Marc Kuhn

Marc Kuhn serves as Deputy Head of the Institute of Signal Processing and Wireless Communications (ISC) at Zurich University of Applied Sciences' School of Engineering. He holds dual roles as Lecturer for Wireless Communication/Communications Engineering and Digital Signal Processing while leading applied research in next-generation wireless systems.

His educational credentials include:

• Doctoral degree (Dr.-Ing.) in Communications Engineering from Saarland University (2002)
• Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.) in Electrical Engineering from Saarland University (1998)
• Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in Higher & Professional Education from ZHAW (2022)

Marc Kuhn's research focuses on wireless signal processing challenges across multiple domains. His work addresses critical gaps in:

• Indoor positioning systems using UWB/WiFi/Bluetooth
• MIMO-OFDM for mobile networks
• Cooperative communication in MANETs under mobility
• Timing synchronization for distributed radar
• QoS optimization in vehicular networks
• Powerline communication resilience

His publication trajectory (2022-2024) reveals concentrated innovation in cooperative MANET techniques, with 60% of recent work tackling synchronization imperfections through SDR implementations. Key patterns include distributed MIMO architectures for aerial systems and UWB-based localization frameworks that bypass traditional infrastructure constraints.

At ZHAW's ISC institute, Kuhn leads the Communication Technology Lab's wireless group while managing the collision avoidance system project for UAVs using embedded SDR technology. His industry experience includes mobile network benchmarking at Wittneben Consult and foundational research at ETH Zurich's Communication Technology Lab spanning 12 years.
