With the RateX Transceiver, we have won the third prize of the 2015 Bell Labs Prize. From left to right in the photo, our bios are:

Fabian Steiner

Fabian Steiner was born in Prien am Chiemsee, Germany. He received the B.Sc. degree and M.Sc. degree (with high distinction) in electrical engineering from the Technische Universität München (TUM), Germany, in 2011 and 2014, respectively. He is now working toward the Ph.D. degree at the Institute for Communications Engineering, TUM. He is supervised by Dr. Georg Böcherer and Prof. Gerhard Kramer. His current research interest include coding, modulation and multi-user massive MIMO systems. He received the Prof. Dr. Ralf Kötter memorial award for his master's thesis.

Georg Böcherer

Georg Böcherer was born in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. He obtained his M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the ETH Zürich, Switzerland, in 2007, and his Ph.D. degree from the RWTH Aachen University, Germany, in 2012. He is now a senior researcher and lecturer at the Institute for Communications Engineering, Technische Universität München. His current research interests are coding, modulation, and probabilistic shaping for optical, wireless, and wired communications. He served as a co-chair of the Munich Workshop on Coding and Modulation (MCM 2015). He received the E-plus award for his Ph.D. thesis.

Patrick Schulte

Patrick Schulte was born in Dachau, Germany. He received the B.Sc. degree and M.Sc. degree (with high distinction) in electrical engineering from the Technische Universität München (TUM), Germany, in 2012 and 2014, respectively. Currently, he is working toward the Ph.D. degree at the Institute for Communications Engineering, TUM. He is supervised by Prof. Kramer and supported by the German Aerospace Center.
