Life and career
Dohler was born 3 January 1975. He grew up in mainland Europe and went to an elite school in mathematics and natural sciences. At the age of 16, he had won several Olympics in Mathematics and Physics at national level. From 1992–1993, he then spent a year working in the construction industry.
He moved to Moscow in 1993 with the ambition to become a professional pianist but, upon advice from his family, decided to study Physics instead. He finished his pre-diploma in Physics at one of Russia’s top universities, the Moscow State University and, for personal reasons, left for Dresden, Germany, in 1996.
Dohler then studied at the Dresden University of Technology, Germany, and continued at King's College London, UK. Dohler initially studied Electrical engineering and later specialised in wireless communications. He completed his Master of Science degree at King’s in 1999, his Diploma degree at TU-Dresden in 2000, and then his Doctorate degree in 2003 at King’s.
He became lecturer at King's College London after his PhD and remained there until May 2005, when he left to work as Senior Research Expert in the R&D Department France Telecom, Orange, in France. The work conducted at Orange laid the pioneering foundations of today’s Internet of Things (IoT).
He left France on February, 2008 for Barcelona, Spain, and started working at Europe’s largest telecommunications centre, the Centre for Telecommunications Technologies of Catalonia (CTTC). Over the years, he became the Coordinator of Research of the centre. Over that period, he also cofounded and grew Worldsensing which is considered Europe’s largest B2B IoTcompany.
He was invited back to King’s in September 2013, where he took over the directorship of the Centre for Telecommunications Research.
Academic and innovation work
He pioneered the practical aspects of cooperative communications being the first to propose to use multiple single antennas from handset to form a cooperative array to yield higher capacity. Dohler introduced the concept of the “Internet of Skills” which enables skills to be executed remotely using cutting-edge technologies such as the Tactile Internet, artificial intelligence and haptic encoders. He is also the first to introduce cross-disciplinary co-design into the 5G development framework.
Further, Dohler has also made substantial contributions to the fields of the tactile Internet, 5G system designs, the Internet of Things, Smart Cities, machine learning, security and inverse error rates. His work has resulted in more than 200 highly-cited peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, and several books.
Dohler has also contributed to many initiatives within the academic ecosystem: He held more than 20 editorial positions, including as Editor-in-Chief of the Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies and the EAI Transactions on Internet of Things, as well as Technical editor of the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, Editor of the IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials, and the Area Editor of IEEE Internet of Things Journal. He was also lead and co-editor on more than 20 special issues related to the Internet of Things, Smart Cities, Big Data and Smart Grids. And Dohler chaired/co-chaired several leading conferences in telecommunications, such as IEEE PIMRC 2008.
Policy and thought-leadership
He has advised and contributed to Richard Branson’s Carbon War Room initiative; Cambridge’s Centre for Science and Policy; spectrum policy work for the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and M2M policy for the EC’s Body of European Regulators (BEREC).
Media and press
Dohler has had press coverage on a variety of topics related to technology and innovation.
He has been a frequent guest speaker at technology conferences in Europe, such as the International Conference on Communications, TEDx London, Wired Conference in London and others.
He was also a guest on the shows such as Al Jazeera Inside Story, "Ian King Live" on Sky News TV-channel, Start-Ups
