Dr Ingmar Land

Dr Ingmar Land is member of the Communications Signal Processing Research Group at ITR. Before joining ITR in 2007, he was Assistant Professor for Communication Theory at Aalborg University, Denmark. He received his Dr-Ing (PhD) in 2004 from the University of Kiel, Germany, and he studied for his Diplom-Ingenieur (MSc) at the University of Ulm, Germany, and at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany.

Ingmar Land is working in the areas of channel coding and information theory. His main focus is the analysis and design of iterative receivers with low-complexity, particularly decoders, using methods from information theory. These methods are applied to problems in cooperative communications and distributed source coding. Besides that, he looks into combining of mutual information and the indivisibility of bits.

Ingmar Land is member of the IEEE Information Theory Society and the IEEE Communications Society. He reviews on a regular basis for IEEE journals and conferences.

Ingmar Land received the Fakultätspreis 2005, from the Faculty of Engineering, University of Kiel, Germany, for the best dissertation at the Faculty of Engineering. He was awarded the ITG Literaturpreis 2005, by the VDE, Germany, for pioneering research in the field of information technology. And he received the Teacher of the Year Award 2005 by Aalborg University, Denmark, for excellence in teaching.
