Florian Klingler received his Ph.D. degree (Dr. rer. nat., summa cum laude) in Computer Science from Paderborn University, Germany, in 2018 and his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Computer Science from University of Innsbruck, Austria, in 2010 and 2012, respectively. In 2012 he was a visiting Research Assistant with the group of Prof. Dr. Jiannong Cao in the Department of Computing at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). Dr. Klingler currently holds the substitute professorship (Professurvertreter) of the Computer Networks Group at the Dept. of Computer Science, Paderborn University, Germany. Previously until March 2020 he was a Postdoctoral Researcher (AkadR a.Z.) in the Distributed Embedded Systems Group (CCS Labs) of Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Falko Dressler at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute and the Dept. of Computer Science, Paderborn University, Germany. From April 2020 until September 2021 he was a Postdoctoral Researcher (AkadR a.Z.) in the Computer Networks Group headed by Prof. Dr. Holger Karl at the Dept. of Computer Science, Paderborn University, Germany. Dr. Klingler focuses in his research on protocols for adaptive wireless networks in highly dynamic scenarios, with applications in vehicular communications and sensor networks.
