Dipl.-Ing. Johannes Hofer

PhD Researcher

Johannes Hofer received his Diploma degree (Dipl.-Ing.) in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University Dresden, Germany in 2022. As part of his studies, he completed an internship at National Instruments, focusing on near-field characterization of antenna arrays. His student research focused on the evaluation of the NetFPGA platform for network testing. His diploma thesis investigated the offloading of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) processes to the edge cloud, which laid the foundation for his subsequent research as a PhD student at the Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks in 2022.
