Research Team

CROSSNET TEAM MISSION

Our mission is to develop and analyze novel algorithmic solutions to current and future challenges in communication engineering. We strive to reveal connections of these solutions across different disciplines and thus unify them. We are curious and challenge ourselves by actively seeking feedback through collaboration and open sharing of ideas. We aim to generate useful knowledge and disseminate it through top-tier journal and conference publications.
