What is your research topic?
I’m working on signal processing in mono-, bi-, and multistatic radar, with small, energy efficient sensors.
What are you working on within NextG2Com?
Recently, we have finished a project together with Sandvik Group, where Acconeer’s small radar sensors have been evaluated for use in conveyer belt monitoring. We investigated if radar can be used to surveil rock size, unexpected belt movements or objects, and turns out, you can! Moving forward, I will continue working with multistatic radar, where several transmitter and receiver antennas are used, for spatial diversity for detection and positioning. Radar is gaining application areas, where traditional cameras do not work or are overkill, examples are sensing in dusty environments like the stone conveyer belt, or simpler presence detection of water levels or even a heartbeat. AI also opens for several research avenues, where vision might not be needed for positioning.
What do you do when you’re not doing research?
I play a lot of tennis, and actually have played with Nobel laureate in physics Anne L’Huillier.
