Research interests

Signal processing for ultra-wideband radar, device free person detection and localization, stochastic radio channel modeling and machine learning applications for radar signal processing.

Jakob Möderl received the M.Sc. degree in 2020 in electrical engineering from Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria. He is currently working towards a Ph.D. degree as a Research Associate at the Signal Processing and Speech Communications Laboratory of Graz University of Technology. His research interest include signal processing for ultra-wideband radar with a focus on device free person detection and localization as well as radio channel modeling and machine learning applications for radar signal processing.
