Before he joined TUM, Dr. Kellerer pursued an industrial career being more than ten years with DOCOMO Communications Laboratories Europe GmbH, NTT DOCOMO's European research institute in Munich, Germany. His last position was head of the research department for wireless communication and networking working on research topics in the area of mobile service platforms, peer-to-peer networking, ad-hoc and sensor networks QoE-based traffic management, network virtualization, cross-layer design, wireless access and optical transport. From 2003 to 2012 he was also lecturing at TUM on Advanced Network Architectures and Services.
For 2004 and 2005 he has served as the elected Vice Chairman of the Working Group 2 (Service Architecture for the Wireless World) of the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF). He has been member of the editorial board of Elseviers International Journal of Computer and Telecommunications Networking (COMNET) from 2005 - 2010, he is a steering board member of the IEEE International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing (P2P) and has served as guest editor for an IEEE Communications Magazine feature topic in 2006. He serves as an reviewer for the European Commission and several other research programs. He has published more than 100 papers in respective journals, conferences and workshops in the area of service platforms and mobile networking and is inventor/co-inventor of more than 40 patents and patent applications in this area. For one of his outstanding scientific publications he has been awarded with the ITG Award 2008 of the German EE society VDE.
