In April 2020, Professor Dr. Haris Gačanin joined the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of RWTH Aachen University as a head of the Chair for Distributed Signal Processing and as Co-director of the Institute for Communication Technologies and Embedded Systems.
After receiving MS.c. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Tohoku University in Japan, he joined the university as a Research Fellow of Japan Society for Promotion of Science and later as an Assistant Professor. Before joining our faculty, he was a Department Head at Nokia Bell Labs and adjunct teaching professor at KU Leuven in Belgium.
Now, we are proud to welcome him as a member of our faculty.
I feel privileged and honored to become a professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of RWTH. With new colleagues and brilliant students I will strive to establish our faculty as the leader in next-generation communication technologies and create a world where everyone, information, and goods can be accessed anywhere in an ultra-real experience without being constrained to space and time.

Project upBUS
The television format SAT1.NRW just reported about the “upBUS” project, a collaboration of the Chair of High Frequency Electronics and the Institute of Structural Mechanics and Lightweight Design.
The scientists conduct research focussing on a public means of transport, combining the advantages of bus and cableway. The aim is to avoid and decrease inner city traffic jams as efficient as possible with the help of the autonomously driving upBUS. RWTH’s research team plans to implant the project in the city of Essen three years from now.
More information are given in an interview by a member of the research team of the Chair of High Frequency Electronics, David Bierbüsse.
The complete report can be watched on the homgepage of SAT1.NRW.
