Professor of Electromagnetics & Radio-Freqency Engineering
Communications and Networks Research Unit
We have a long and established history of research in the field of telecommunications, which can be traced back to the mid '80s.
Through participation in many influential pan-European, national and industrially-funded research projects, a wealth of knowledge, experience, expertise and know-how have been gathered, ensuring that we remain at the cutting edge of research and development. In particular, we have a strong presence in the EU research community, contributing significantly to various EU Framework Programme projects in the ICT and Aeronautics and Transport areas.
