Dipl.-Wi.-Ing. Thomas Höschele

PhD Researcher

Thomas Höschele is a Ph.D. researcher at the Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks at TU-Dresden. He joined the chair in March 2018.
He studied at the Technical University of Dresden and received his Dipl.-Wirtschaftsingenieur (Business Administration and Engineering) degree, with a focus of innovation management, finance and process automation in 2011. For his diploma thesis he evaluated different methods for process automation of biogas plants. After his diploma he worked as a project manager from 2011 till 2018 for an engineering company in Freital with a focus on street lightning.

He supported the 5G Lab by analyzing the impact of 5G at the Core Internet infrastructure and worked at the Smart Systems Hub Dresden until May 2019. He is currently leading a research team on 5G Campus networks.
