Overview of Research Activity on High Frequency Electronics at Queen's University of Belfast

Wed, 21/11/2012 - 14:00 to 15:00

Location:

Speaker: 
Dr George Gousettis
Affiliation: 
Queen's University of Belfast
Synopsis: 

This talk will review the research focus and selected results in the area of high frequency electronics at Queen’s University of Belfast. Driven by applications that include broadband terrestrial and satellite communications, Earth observation as well as active and passive imaging and sensing, we will review highlights from recent and ongoing research on linear and non-linear component design for analogue signal processing including free-space and guided signal filtering, analogue Fourier transforms, and flat quasi-optical mm-wave components. Some selected research initiatives will also be presented, including the development of a mm-wave GBps communication system and self-tracking antenna technology.

Biography: 

George Goussetis is Reader in high frequency electronics with Queen’s University Belfast. His research aims to provide informed solutions for wireless communications and remote sensing and includes electromagnetic analysis and modelling, passive and active hardware design as well as subsystem and system development. In these fields he has authored or co-authored over 150 peer-reviewed papers and four book chapters.
Dr. Goussetis has held a research fellowship from the Onassis foundation in 2001, a research fellowship from the UK Royal Academy of Engineering between 2006-2011 and a European Marie-Curie experienced researcher fellowship in 2011. In 2010 he was visiting Professor in UPCT, Spain. He is the co-recipient of the 2011 European Space Agency young engineer of the year prize, the 2011 EuCAP best student paper prize and the 2012 EuCAP best antenna theory paper prize.
