Dipl.-Ing. Nico vom Hofe

PhD Researcher

Teaching: SwEnG

Curriculum Vitae

Nico vom Hofe studied Information Systems Engineering at TU Dresden, where he received his Diploma degree (Dipl.-Ing.) in 2025. During his studies, he specialized in electrical circuits and systems as well as artificial intelligence. From 2022 to 2025, he worked as a student assistant at the Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks. His research focuses on collaborative autonomous mobile robots within the tactile internet, with a particular emphasis on human-in-the-loop systems. His doctoral research investigates collaborative and network-aware robotic systems in future 6G networks.
