Biography

Thorsten Wild received his Dipl.-Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the University of Karlsruhe in 2001 and his Dr.-Ing. (PhD) degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from University of Stuttgart in 2016. In 2001 he joined Alcatel as a research engineer, became part of Bell Labs in 2006 and part of Nokia Bell Labs in 2016. In 2017 he became department head of the Next Generation Wireless Systems team.

He has authored and co-authored more than 50 conference papers and more than 20 standardization technical documents for 3GPP NR and LTE, and holds more than 70 filed and granted patent families in communications. He achieved numerous patent awards, such as being the top 10 inventor in Nokia Stuttgart for granted patents for all time and being nominated for the Bell Labs Inventors Award in 2011. He was active contributor in several european projects, such as being the technical manager of the European 5GNOW research project. Thorsten Wild’s background is in signal processing, multi-antenna communication and physical layer design. He has been working on UMTS, LTE, LTE-A, multi-user MIMO, coordinated multi-point, channel estimation, limited feedback, 5G waveforms and 5G air interface design.
