Marcin is a Researcher and a PhD Student at the Chair of Connected Mobility at Technical University of Munich. He obtained his Bachelor’s (2018) and Master’s (2020) degrees in “Computer Engineering” at the Technical University of Berlin. His research is mostly focused on Time-Sensitive and In-Vehicular networks, with special interest on novel and cross-layer approaches to their realization. He is also interested in the 5G and beyond mobile network architecture, especially considering network slicing and QoE-aware network management.
