Radio and Electronics Engineering

The Radio and Electronics Engineering area aims to develop solutions for future communication, computing, and sensing systems, based on expertise in microwaves, integrated photonics, digital and analogue electronics, and signal processing. These solutions are applied in radio/optical communications, human sensing, and embedded computing. In this context, research is focused on three complementary strands: the development of antennas and reconfigurable devices, exploring heterogeneous architectures and neuromorphic computing to enhance efficiency and adaptability to operational conditions; the pursuit of sustainable approaches, including antennas and electronic circuits based on 3D printing and materials that promote economic and environmental sustainability; and the integration of multi-modal communication and sensing, combining radio and video to enhance system performance and robustness.
