Christian Carlowitz

Christian Carlowitz (S‘13, M‘17) was born in Wolfenbüttel, Germany, in 1985. He received his Dipl.-Ing. degree in information technology from the Clausthal University of Technology in 2010. In May 2018, he was awarded the Dr.-Ing. degree from the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) for his thesis on “wireless high-speed communication based on regenerative sampling.” At present, he is with the Institute of Microwaves and Photonics at FAU, where he is leading the “Microwave and Photonic Systems” group since 2018. His research comprises the conception, design, and implementation of innovative system architectures for radar and communication frontends at microwave, mm-wave, and optical frequencies. He focuses especially on hardware concepts, as well as analog and digital signal processing techniques, for ultra-wideband high-speed communication systems, full-duplex mobile communication transceivers, and massive MIMO base stations and for ranging and communication with mm-wave RFID systems. Dr. Carlowitz is a member of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) and serves as a member of the IEEE MTT-S Technical Committee “RF/Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing” (MTT-15). He is a regular reviewer for the Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques journal, member of the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) Technical Program Review Committee, as well as regular reviewer for several additional international conferences, including EuMW and ICMIM.
