Wolfgang  Utschick  is  interested  in  the  overlapping  areas  of  signal  processing,  communication  and  information  theory,  numerical  mathematics  and  optimization  theory  for  widespread  applications  in  the  information  and  communication  area  and  complex  systems.  The  main  focus  is  on  the  development  of  algorithms  and  methods,  which  includes  the  analysis  of  fundamental  properties  as  well  as  their  utilization  to  design  efficient  algorithms.  His  research  has  been  constantly  funded  by  many  research  grants  from  the  national  German  funding  agency  (DFG)  and  a  large  number  of  collaborations  with  international  industries.  He  is  editor  of  a  successful  Springer  book  series  on  Foundations  in  Signal  Processing,  Communications  and  Networking  and  authored  and  co-­authored  more  than  400  peer-­reviewed  conference  papers  and  journal  articles  and  holds  more  than  20  patents  in  his  professional  field.  Since  2011  he  has  been  constantly  engaged  in  managing  positions  at  TUM.  Despite  of  his  many  activities  Wolfgang  Utschick  is  deeply  committed  to  academic  teaching  at  TUM  and  overseas.  Since  2011  he  is  regularly  teaching  at  the  Singapore  University  of  Technology,  the  fifths  and  youngest  university  of  Singapore  which  holds  a  strong  partnership  with  TUM  Asia  Singapore.
