Projects

6G RIC:
6G Research and Innovation Cluster
Acting as research assistant

The “6G Research and Innovation Cluster” (6G-RIC) pursues the goal of developing mobile radio systems with open interfaces across all technology boundaries. The focus is on technology development and the establishment of an efficient test infrastructure. The test infrastructure should enable the testing of new technology components under realistic and open conditions. This should accelerate direct utilisation and ensure the establishment of a new ecosystem in the medium term.

[ 4 years (08/2021 - 07/2025) – 20 partners (Universities and research institutes) – funding: ∼70 Mio.€ BMBF - Federal Ministry of Education and Research ]

SEMIoTICS:
Smart End-to-end Massive IoT Interoperability, Connectivity and Security
Acting as research assistant

Research on the development of a pattern-driven framework built upon existing IoT platforms to enable and guarantee secure and dependable actuation and semi-autonomic behaviour in industrial IoT applications; Participating in the task on „End-To-End Security and Privacy“ involving industrial and academic partners.

[ 3 years (01/2018 - 12/2020) – 9 partners – funding: ∼5 Mio.€ in EU H2020 Research and Innovation – size: 919 person months ]
