Short Bio

Stefan Schmid is the manager of the Mobile and Wireless Network Research Group at NEC Network Laboratories in Heidelberg, Germany.

He received his M.Sc. in Computer Science (Diplom Informatik) from the University of Ulm (Germany) in 1999. He joined the Computing Department at Lancaster University (U.K.) as a Research Associate in the Distributed Multimedia Research Group (DMRG), where he was involved in a number of European and industry funded projects in the areas of active and programmable networks, real-time communication, IPv6, mobility, wireless networks, QoS and network security.

In November 2002, he graduated from Lancaster University with a Ph.D. in Computer Science. After that, he continued to work for the Mobile-IPv6 Systems Research Lab as a PostDoc Researcher.

In March 2004, he joined the Next Generation Internet group at NEC Europe Ltd in Heidelberg. He was involved in the FP6 IST Integrated Projects Ambient Networks and Autonomic Network Architecture (ANA), where he had a leading role in technical work.

In April 2007, Stefan became the manager of the Next-Generation Networking (NGN) research group, heading an international team of around 10 researchers in the area of mobile networks, real-time communications and autonomic networking. Since April 2010, Stefan is the manager of the Mobile and Wireless Networks group, where he leads a team of 15 researchers and standards people in the area of wireless access and backhaul networks, mobile core networks, Femtocell technologies as well as mobile cloud. His team is also actively engaged in standardisation in 3GPP, Femto Forum, IEEE, IETF and Wimax Forum.

Stefan is also active in the standardization of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), and in particular the Long-Term-Evolution (LTE) and 3GPP System Architecture Evolution (SAE) studies. He is also a member of the IEEE and has published many scientific papers in international workshops and conferences. He is also a reviewer for numerous journals and conferences and serves on the program committee of several conferences.
