Biography

Dr. Timothy Otim is a postdoctoral researcher specializing in wireless communication. He earned his PhD in Positioning and Navigation Systems from Universidad de Deusto, Spain, in 2020, with a focus on the impact of the human body on ultrawideband indoor positioning systems. Prior to his current role, he held a postdoctoral position at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) in Wessling, Germany, in 2021, where he worked on statistical models for Intelligent Transport Systems.

At IMDEA Networks, Dr. Otim contributes to the Pervasive Wireless Systems Group, participating in projects such as the EU-ENABLE-6G, which investigates AI, privacy, and network efficiency for next-generation wireless systems, and the EUSPA project, which aims to develop a unified hybrid user terminal supporting both 5G Terrestrial Networks (TN) and Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) communications. His recent publications cover 5G positioning, privacy in 5G standalone networks, and COVID-19 contact tracing through multipath profile similarity.
