 Bio
 
 Martin Maier is a full professor with the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), Montréal, Canada. He was educated at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany, and received MSc and PhD degrees both with distinctions (summa cum laude) in 1998 and 2003, respectively. In 2003, he was a postdoc fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA. He was a visiting professor at Stanford University, Stanford, CA, 2006 through 2007. He was a co-recipient of the 2009 IEEE Communications Society Best Tutorial Paper Award. Further, he was a Marie Curie IIF Fellow of the European Commission from 2014 through 2015. In 2017, he received the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt (AvH) Foundation in recognition of his accomplishments in research on FiWi-enhanced mobile networks. In 2017, he was named one of the three most promising scientists in the category “Contribution to a better society” of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) 2017 Prize Award of the European Commission. In 2019/2020, he held a UC3M-Banco de Santander Excellence Chair at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), Madrid, Spain. Recently, in December 2023, he was awarded with the 2023 Technical Achievement Award of the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) Tactile Internet Technical Committee for his contribution on 6G/Next G and the design of Metaverse concepts and architectures as well as the 2023 Outstanding Paper Award of the IEEE Computer Society Bio-Inspired Computing STC for his contribution on the symbiosis between INTERnet and Human BEING (INTERBEING). He is co-author of the book “Toward 6G: A New Era of Convergence” (Wiley-IEEE Press, January 2021) and author of the sequel “6G and Onward to Next G: The Road to the Multiverse” (Wiley-IEEE Press, February 2023).
 
 Motto
 
 "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t 
                                      do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe 
                                      harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." (Mark Twain, 
                                      1835-1910)
 
 Research 
                                      Interests
 
 Dr. Maier's research activities aim at providing insights into technologies, protocols, and algorithms shaping the future of bimodal Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) networks for unified broadband access as well as exploring new ways of deploying emerging optical fiber and wireless technologies in related multidisciplinary research areas. His work aims at rethinking the role of FiWi access networks in order to unleash their full potential, including their future convergence with other technologies and economic sectors. Together with his students, he currently focuses on FiWi enabled human-to-robot communications to help merge and recombine mobile Internet, automation of knowledge work, Internet of Things, cloud technology, and advanced robotics, which represent the five technologies with the highest estimated potential economic impact in 2025. The group's FiWi research activities are intended to merge and recombine these five general purpose technologies in order to multiply their impact on society.
