Event

SAFER invites to:

V2X Communication Workshop

Take the opportunity to get up to date on current standardization and development of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication and interact with experts in the field. The target audience are practicing engineers and academics a like. There will be food for thought for everyone!

Speakers (in order of appearance)

Prof. Erik Ström: Erik leads the Competence Area Sensors and Communications at SAFER and co-chairs the Topical Working Group on Vehicular Environment in the EU COST action IC1004. He is a professor in Communication Systems at Chalmers and his main research interests center around physical layer and medium access control problems for V2X communication.

Tekn. Lic. Katrin Sjöberg: Katrin is an expert on medium access problems for vehicular ad-hoc networks and is active in ETSI’s Technical Committee on Intelligent Transport Systems (V2X standardization in Europe). She is currently with AB Volvo and defended her Ph.D. thesis entitled “Medium Access Control for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks” the day before this workshop.

Dr. John Kenney: John leads a vehicular networking research team at Toyota InfoTechnology Center in Mountain View, California. Research interests include wireless protocols at the MAC and physical layers, congestion control, security, and performance optimization. He represents Toyota in the CAMP VSC consortium and in international standards organizations including IEEE, SAE, and ETSI.  He holds a Bachelor’s degree and Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame and a Master’s from Stanford University.

Prof. Petar Popovski: Petar is a professor at Aalborg University, and his research is concerned with various types of wireless networks, including design and analysis of protocols mostly at the physical, MAC and link layers. New topics of particular interest include machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and ultra-reliable wireless communication (also under bad reception conditions).
