The programme has now been announced and you can check it out here. We have two invited speakers on the day:
Mike Warrington
Mike Warrington is professor of Radio Communications Engineering at the University of Leicester. His research interests have centred (and continue to do so) on long range radio propagation, particularly within the HF band.
Current focus is on communications with civil aircraft on routes crossing the polar regions and on OTHR systems within the arctic regions.
Tony Brown
Professor Tony Brown was the Chair in Communication Engineering at the University of Manchester, UK and was Chief Technical Director of Easat Radar Systems.
Tony was Head of the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering until 2016. He has been involved in antennas and propagation for over 35 years with over 100 publications on the subject including five patents and, as co-author, two books. He joined academia in 2003, initially to head the Microwave and Communications Group at Manchester, then became Associate Dean. Prior to academia Tony had a long industrial career with major UK companies before forming Easat in 1987.
At Manchester, Tony Brown’s research is in antennas and propagation as applied to radar, wireless communications and radio astronomy instrumentation. He is has been a member of the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope UK research group since 2002. He was also a UK representative to the COST ASSIST action, chairman of the Wireless Friendly Building Group and served on the EUROCAE WG41 standards group and was the only none US citizen serving on the Technical Advisory Commission to the FCC in Washington, D.C.
Tony has been involved in computational electromagnetics since the 1980’s and received the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES) in 1994.
Tony has acted as chair or vice chair to a wide number of international conferences and seminars over his career most recently co-chairing the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation , EUCAP 2018. . He is a past Council member of the Engineering Professors Council, a Fellow of the IET and IMA and a Senior Member of IEEE . He is a member of the IET’s TPN on Antennas and Propagation. Tony was a founder member of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (UK) Communications College.
In 2018 he became Professor Emeritus at Manchester and is now also a visiting professor at Queen Mary, University of London, at Cavendish Laboratories, University of Cambridge and at University of Valetta.
