Biography
Thomas Wiegart received the B.Sc. degree (with distinction) and the M.Sc. degree (with high distinction) in electrical engineering from Technical University of Munich (TUM) in 2015 and 2018, respectively.
He is currently working towards the doctoral degree at the TUM Institute for Communications Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Gerhard Kramer. His research interests include information theory, channel coding, probabilistic shaping, and optical communications.
Mr. Wiegart was the recipient of the Walter Gademann Price in 2016 for his Bachelor thesis, and he received an Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award from the student representatives of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, TUM in 2020.

Polar Codes for Hard-Decision Decoding
Beschreibung
In this internship we will investigate performance and decoding algorithms for polar codes using hard decisions.
Betreuer:
Probabilistic Shaping with Low-Density Graph Codes and Message Passing
probabilistic shaping, ldpc, ldgm, belief propagation
Beschreibung
In this thesis we will use and develop practical algorithms for lossy source coding (a.k.a. quantization or compression) to construct a probabilistic shaping scheme based on low-density graph codes.
Betreuer:
Shaped Incremental Redundancy HARQ using Polar Codes
polar coding, probabilistic shaping, harq, wireless
Beschreibung
The aim of the thesis is to construct a hybrid ARQ coding scheme which employs probabilistic shaing. For both individual concepts, the structure of polar codes provides an amenable fundament. This makes a polarization-based coding scheme an interesting candidate to fuse HARQ with shaping.
Betreuer:
Channel Shortening for Nonlinear Channels
Beschreibung
This research internship concerns channel shortening for channels with nonlinear components and/or discrete input alphabets.
