Christian Bettstetter is a full professor at the University of Klagenfurt, Austria, where he leads a research group on mobile and wireless systems and is head of the institute of networked and embedded systems. He is also scientific director of the independent research center Lakeside Labs GmbH, which he launched in 2007, the research focus of the lab being self-organizing networked systems.
His research interest is in the area of networking with a focus on mobile, wireless, and embedded systems. This includes the development and analysis of algorithms and protocols, stochastic modeling aspects, networking theory, and network architectures. For nine years, his main research has been on self-organizing multihop networking. He contributed to the fields of connectivity theory, mobility modeling, and clustering; his newer research topics include cooperative relaying, distributed time synchronization, and communication in sparsely-connected networks. He teaches various graduate courses on mobile networks and an undergraduate course on electromagnetism.
Christian studied electrical engineering and information technology at the Technische Universität München (TUM), Germany, where he received the Dr.-Ing (summa cum laude) and Dipl.-Ing. degree in 2004 and 1998, respectively. Prior to becoming a professor, Christian was a senior researcher at DoCoMo Euro-Labs, where he worked on distributed medium access and topology aspects of ad hoc networks. From 1998 to 2003, he was a research and teaching staff member at the Institute of Communication Networks at TUM. He did research in the field of ad hoc networking, mobility modeling, and vehicular communication and launched and managed a new international study program. In 1998, he was a visiting researcher at the University of Notre Dame, USA, working on channel coding.
Christian published 18 articles in journals, magazines, and books, and over 40 papers in refereed conference proceedings. One of his publications received the 2008 best paper award at the IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference and another one the 2004 outstanding paper award from the German Informationstechnische Gesellschaft (ITG). He also co-authored the Wiley textbook 'GSM - Switching, services and protocols.' His current h-index, being a measure for the visibily and impact of publications, is 18.
He currently serves as editor for ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review, committee member of several IEEE and ACM conferences, and project reviewer for the European Commission.
