Dr. Frank H.P. Fitzek, University of Aalborg, DenmarkFrank H. P. Fitzek is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Technology at the University of Aalborg, Denmark heading the Future Vision and Mobile Device group. He received his diploma (Dipl.-Ing.) degree in electrical engineering from the University of Technology - Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH) - Aachen, Germany, in 1997 and his Ph.D. (Dr.-Ing.) in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University Berlin, Germany in 2002 for quality of service support in wireless CDMA networks. As a visiting student at the Arizona State University he conducted research in the field of video services over wireless networks, and in 1999 co-founded the start-up company acticom GmbH in Berlin. In 2002 he was Adjunct Professor at the University of Ferrara, Italy giving lectures on wireless communications and conducting research on multi-hop networks. Frank's current areas of research interest are in wireless and mobile communication networks, mobile phone programming, cross layer as well as energy efficient protocol design and cooperative networking.
