Research

Prof. Jukan leads the Communication Networks and Systems (CNS) group, at the TU Braunschweig, Institute of Computer and Network Engineering. The group is active in research areas related to theory and practice of signaling, control and management in next generation broadband networks as well as performance evaluation. Our interests are also in collaborating within multidisciplinary research teams in engineering and computer science, as well as in applying communications and networking technologies in other disciplines.

Current projects:

• 100 Gb/s Carrier-grade Ethernet (awarded by BMBF)
• Inter-domain peering and provisioning in the next generation optical networks (awarded by DFG, in collaboration with Univ. Campinas, Sao Paolo, Brazil)
• GEYSERS (EU IP Project)
• X10 Media Composer (IBM)

Information for Visitors

Arriving from Frankfurt and Munich (international). Lufthansa has non-stop flights to Frankfurt and Munich from most of the US and Asian cities. Once you are at the Frankfurt airport, you can take the airport train to the Frankfurt Main Station (Hauptbahnhof), and from there a non-stop train connection to Braunschweig (duration about 2.5 hours). The regular fair is around 150 Euro (round trip), but always check with Deutsche Bahn for train special deals. Alternatively, it is possible to fly to take a connecting flight to Hannover (HAJ).

Arriving from Hannover International Airport (around 60 km, 37 miles). If you decide to take a connecting flight, the easiest way is to take the airport train to the Main Station (Hauptbahnhof) in Hannover, and connect to train to Braunschweig (evry 30 mins). The regular fair is around 20 Euro. Alternatively, the University has a special deal with a door-to-door shuttle company, which may be ordered in advance (fare approx. 30 Euro). The regular door-to-door shuttle fair can be as high as 60 Euro, depending on the provider, and the providers are easy to find at the arrival gates. Only some of them speak English.

Our building is located at the North Campus (a 15-20 mins walk from the main campus), see the address and directions.
