Raymond Knopp is a Professor and head of the Mobile Communications Department at EURECOM.[1], a renowned graduate school and research center in Sophia Antipolis, France.

He is recognized for his contributions to wireless communication systems, software-defined radio (SDR), and advanced signal processing techniques.[2]

Knopp joined EURECOM after completing his Ph.D. at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) in 1997.[3]

His research spans areas such as advanced modulation schemes, MIMO systems, and 5G networks.[4]

Knopp was a major contributor to the development of OpenAirInterface, an open-source platform for wireless communication research.[5][4]

Education

[edit]

Knopp earned a B.Eng. in electrical engineering from McGill University, Montreal, Canada.[6] He pursued his graduate studies at the EPFL, earning both a Master's and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering. His doctoral dissertation, titled "Information-Theoretic Aspects of Multiple-Access Channels with Application to Wireless Communication", explored the fundamental limits of multi-user communication systems, contributing to the development of MIMO technologies and efficient wireless coding schemes.[7]

Career

[edit]

Knopp joined EURECOM after completing his Ph.D., where he has been integral to shaping the research and academic programs in wireless communication.[8] His work spans various fields, including:

  • Advanced modulation and coding schemes
  • Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems
  • Software-defined radio (SDR) platforms
  • 5G and future wireless networks
  • Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes and channel estimation

Knopp has also led the development of OpenAirInterface (OAI), an open-source platform for prototyping and testing wireless communication technologies.[9] OAI has gained global recognition as a key tool for advancing research in wireless networks.
