Short Bio (Curriculum Vitae)

Falko Dressler is an assistant professor leading the Autonomic Networking Group at the Department of Computer Science, University of Erlangen. He teaches on self-organizing sensor and actor networks, network security, and communication systems. Dr. Dressler received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree from the Dept. of Computer Science, University of Erlangen in 1998 and 2003, respectively. In 2003, he joined the Computer Networks and Internet group at the Wilhelm-Schickard-Institute for Computer Science, University of Tuebingen. Since 2004, he is with the Computer Networks and Communication Systems group at the Department of Computer Science, University of Erlangen.

Dr. Dressler is an Editor for journals such as Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks and ACM/Springer Wireless Networks (WINET). He was guest editor of special issues on self-organization, autonomic networking, and bio-inspired computing and communication for IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC), Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks, and others. Dr. Dressler was general chair of IEEE/ACM BIONETICS 2007 and IEEE/IFIP WONS 2011. Besides chairing a number of workshops associated to high-level conferences, he regularly acts in the TPC of leading networking conferences such as IEEE INFOCOM, IEEE ICC, IEEE Globecom, IEEE MASS, IFIP Networking and others. Dr. Dressler published two books including Self-Organization in Sensor and Actor Networks, published by Wiley in 2007.

Dr. Dressler is a Senior Member of the IEEE (COMSOC, CS, VTS) as well as a Senior Member of ACM (SIGMOBILE), and member of GI (KuVS). He is actively participating in several working groups of the IETF. His research activities are focused on self-organizing networks addressing issues in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, inter-vehicular communication systems, bio-inspired networking, and adaptive network security techniques.
