Trainers
We’re delighted to welcome five expert trainers from the field of radar to deliver sessions during this interactive course.
Prof Hugh Griffiths, Dept of Electronic and Electrical Eng Faculty of Engineering Science, UCL.
His research interests include radar and sonar systems and signal processing (particularly synthetic aperture radar and bistatic and multi-static radar), and antenna measurement techniques.
He has published over four hundred papers and technical articles in the fields of radar, antennas and sonar.
Professor Chris Baker, University of Birmingham
Chris Baker has been active in radar research for over thirty-five years, has published widely and has won numerous awards.
He led the government research teams responsible for the development of the Sentinel and MSTAR systems in service with the UK Army and Air Force.
Chris is working with colleagues at the UK National Quantum Technology Hub for Sensors and Metrology to lead an investigation into quantum radar.
Marco Martorella
Marco Martorella is Chair in RF and Space Sensing at the University of Birmingham, Vice-Director of the CNIT's National Radar and Surveillance Systems Laboratory and Chair of the NATO Sensor and Electronics Technology Panel.
He is author of more nearly 300 international journal and conference papers, 3 books and 20 book chapters. He served the IEEE AES Radar Systems Panel (2016-2022) and the EDA Radar Captech (2014-2022).
He has been recipient of several awards, including the IEEE 2013 Fred Nathanson Memorial Radar Award and twice the NATO STO Excellence Award (2022 and 2024). He is a Fellow of the IEEE.
Fabiola Colone
Fabiola Colone is a Full Professor at the DIET Dept. of Sapienza University of Rome, where she currently holds the role of Chair of the degree programs in Communications Engineering. Dr. Colone’s research activity is devoted to radar systems and signal processing, with emphasis on passive radar.
She has co-authored over 190 publications in international journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings and she has been leading research projects funded by public and private entities. Dr. Colone is co-editor of the book “Radar Countermeasures for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles”, IET Publisher. She has been co-recipient of the 2018 Premium Award for Best Paper in IET Radar, Sonar & Navigation.
From 2017 she is member of the Board of Governors of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic System Society (AESS) in which she has served as Vice-President for Member Services. From 2022 she is the Associate Editor in Chief for the IEEE Transactions on Radar Systems.
Diego Cristallini
Diego Cristallini graduated in Telecommunication Engineering in 2006 and received the Ph.D. in Radar Remote Sensing in 2010 both from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”.
From 2009 he is with the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques FHR in Wachtberg, Germany, where he is leading the Passive Covert Radar Group within the Signal Processing & Imaging Radar Department. Dr. Cristallini was co-chair of the NATO-SET 242 group on “PCL on moving platforms” and director of the NATO LS-299 “Passive Radar Technology”.
In 2023 he edited the book “Passive Radars on Moving Platforms” published by IET SciTech.
Professor Krzysztof Kulpa, Warsaw University of Technology
Professor Krzysztof Kulpa heads the Laboratory of Radar Technologies at Warsaw University of Technology. He is also the deputy director of the University Research Center for Defense and Security. He specializes in the area of signal processing using digital techniques, in particular radar signals.
He has published more than 500 papers on radar technology, including more than 100 on passive radars, and has worked extensively with military experts to integrate passive radars into command and control networks and apply them to the modern battlefield. From 1999, he worked at the NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO), where he led several research groups and lecture series, mainly in the Panel on Sensors and Electronics Technology (SET). He has won the SET Panel Excellence Award four times.
