Andreas Kuster did his Bachelor's and Master's at the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich. During his Master's studies, he worked as a research assistant in the System Security Group, under the supervision of Professor Srdjan Capkun. He was also Vice President of the ETH Cyber Group, where he was active in the ETH Cyber Group Student Initiative. Kuster helped organise the training of the Cyber 09/12 Strategy Challenge by GCSP, and coached one of the winning teams. He is currently Vice President of ETH Cyber Group Alumni. At present, Andreas Kuster is doing his doctorate in the Wireless And Networked Distributed Sensing research group at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore.

His research focuses on resilient and efficient wireless communication, from ultra-low power communication, advanced spectrum sensing, interference detection and mitigation to intelligent jamming on the physical and message access control layer (LoRa, 4G/5G, UWB, ..). Kuster aims to pair machine learning, signal processing, low-level RTL and analog design approaches with state-of-the-art software defined radio platforms to build robust and efficient wireless communication systems.
