Dipl.-Ing. Stefan Senk

PhD Researcher
Stefan Senk is a Ph.D. student at “Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks” at TU Dresden. He is working on the 5G Campus project whose goal is to develop 5G networks for industry partners. This allows to create new, innovative applications for human-robots-cooperation (cobots), for small startups or established companies. 5G communication technology is needed in order to fulfill the requirements, e.g. ultra low latency. Software defined networks, mobile edge computing and network slicing are some of the enabling technologies.

His main research interest is Time-sensitive Networking (TSN) and the integration of 5G as virtual TSN bridge.

He was born in Berlin, Germany and studied at the Technische Universität Dresden where he received his degree “Diplom-Ingenieur” (Dipl.-Ing.) in electrical engineering in July 2019. He has worked as a student helper for 3 years at Cloud & Heat Technologies GmbH, a startup company in Dresden working on the topic of sustainable green distributed cloud data centers.
