Shape the future of wireless connectivity.

Join 90+ researchers pushing the boundaries of 5G/6G, satellite communications, and quantum-secure systems, fully funded, at the heart of Europe.

Why SIGCOM

Not just a research group. A launchpad.

Research with real-world deployment

Our beam-hopping algorithms run in commercial satellite networks serving Europe and Asia. Your work doesn’t stay in a journal – it goes into production.

Award-winning science

4 ERC grants, the EURASIP Technical Achievement Award, and IEEE’s Distinguished Contributions to Satellite Communications. Our track record opens doors.

Europe’s space industry, on your doorstep

Luxembourg is home to SES, Intelsat, and ESA operations. Our industry partnerships translate directly into datasets, co-supervised theses, and career paths.

Life at SIGCOM

We take the science seriously. We take the team equally seriously. From retreats in the Luxembourg countryside to conference travel to Singapore and beyond, the SIGCOM experience goes well beyond the lab.

Luxembourg, a good place to live

Multilingual, well-connected, ranked among the highest quality-of-life cities in Europe. Paris, Brussels, and Frankfurt are all within 2 hours.

Conference travel funded

All PhD students attend at least one major international conference per year – IEEE GLOBECOM, ICC, SPAWC.

Structured supervision

Weekly group meetings, regular one-to-ones, and dedicated annual reviews. We invest in researchers, not just research outputs.

What our researchers say

Recent PhD graduate

SIGCOM is the rare place here you get strong supervision, real-world research problems, and the freedom to investigate your own ideas. My advice for new PhDs is to pick a topic you’re genuinely eager about, and don’t underestimate how much you’ll learn from the people sitting next door, often more than from another hour alone with your simulations or “AI consultations”.

Postdoctoral researcher

Joining the SIGCOM research group has been a truly transformative experience. The group’s cutting-edge focus on quantum communications and satellite systems, paired with strong industry partnerships, creates an exceptional environment where I have been able to grow both as a researcher and as an engineer.
