Dominic Schupke



Dominic A. Schupke received his Dipl.-Ing. degree from RWTH Aachen in 1998 and his Dr.-Ing. degree from Munich University of Technology (TUM) in 2004. He is with Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) in Munich, Germany and manages the Multi-Layer Networks and Resilience Group in NSN's research unit. Prior to NSN he was with Siemens and the Institute of Communication Networks at TUM. Since March 2009 he has instructed the course "Network Planning" at TUM.
His research interests are in the area of transport networks. This includes network architectures and protocols (optical networks, IP/MPLS networks, Ethernet networks, multilayer networks), routing and wavelength assignment, recovery methods, availability analysis, critical infrastructures, network optimization, and network planning. He is author or co-author of more than 15 journal contributions and over 50 conference papers.
Dominic has been technical program committee member for IEEE conferences Globecom, ICC, and INFOCOM, as well as for OFC, DRCN, and ONDM. Since March 2007 he has served as Associate Editor of the OSA Journal of Optical Networking, which by now became IEEE/OSA Journal of Optical Communications and Networking.
