Odile Adrian

Odile Adrian joined Thomson-CSF in the Airborne Radar Unit in 1980. She has been working there as a radar engineer on fire control airborne radar, both in the design and in the validation phases.

She was involved in the development of RDY for Mirage 2000-5 and in the early nineties, she was heading the system engineering of RBE2 for Rafale. In 2000, she joined the Thales Air Systems Division where she managed Projects and R&T for Ground Surveillance radar and Extended Air Defence Radar.

Since 2004, she is managing upstream studies and advanced developments in surface-based radar field.

Odile Adrian is a graduate of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications and the Centre des Hautes Etudes de l’Armement in Paris.

Clive Alabaster

Clive Alabaster (B 1985 Swansea, PhD 2004 Cranfield, MInstP, CEng).

Lars Falk

Lars Falk is Laborator (Senior Research Officer) at the Swedish Defence Research Agency where he specialises in radar and electronic warfare. He obtained his Ph. D. from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg in 1979 in the area of electromagnetic wave propagation and has been with the Swedish Defence Research Agency for twenty years.

Falk has developed a theory of crosseye-jamming and new concepts for electronic warfare directed against network centric systems. He teaches Bayesian statistics and decision theory and has developed a borehole radar for the nuclear waste storage programme.

Gunes Karabulut-Kurt

Gunes Karabulut-Kurt received the B.S. degree with high honors in electronics and electrical engineering from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey, in 2000. She received her M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees both in electrical engineering from the University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 2002 and 2006, respectively. She was with Edgewater Computer Systems Inc. from 2006 to 2008 where she was working on high-bandwidth computer networking in aircraft.

Currently she's with Turkcell R&D. Her research interests include localization, multicarrier systems, network planning and management.

Dr Stephen Harman
Steve currently leads and manages an applied radar systems group at QinetiQ, specialising on exploitation of processing techniques. He has over 16 years experience in research, design, build and test of solid state radar systems and he has particular expertise in waveform design and analysis.

His research interests are in signal processing, data exploitation and waveform design in the context of radar system performance.

Steve has experience in a wide range of user environments: air, land and sea. From this, with his group, he has developed novel radar architectures and niche radar systems that meet customer capability gaps. He is the author of more than 70 reports, papers and patents.

He is a founder member of the organising committee for international waveform diversity and design conferences in 2004 and 2006 and he has acted as a chair on the Technical Programme Committee for EuRAD 2006.

In addition he has chaired numerous conference sessions both nationally and internationally, has been the invited speaker for numerous workshops and was the organiser for one day IET symposium on waveform diversity and design in communications radar and sonar 2006.

Holger Erkens

His current research interests include efficient techniques for on-chip RF phase shifting as well as the integration of complete transmit receive modules for phased arrays in low-cost semiconductor technologies.

Julia Tagg

Julia Tagg has worked for the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) for the past 12 years. She has been working on programmes to develop multi-function radar demonstrators. Julia was the MoD programme manager for MESAR2 during its development and trials from 1997 to 2001.

For the past 6 years Julia has worked as the MoD technical advisor for ARTIST (Advanced Radar Technology Integrated System Testbed), which is a collaborative UK/US digital array radar demonstrator.

Julia has recently completed a MSc in sensors and data fusion at Cranfield University.

Previously, William worked for a range of communications consultancies in the UK in the fields of hardware design, computer simulation, propagation modelling, spectrum management and strategy development. William also spent three years providing strategic management across Motorola’s entire communications portfolio, based in Chicago,

William has published ten books, eighty papers, and four patents. He is a Visiting Professor at Surrey University and DeMontfort University and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, the IEEE and the IET where he has served as a Vice President.

His biography is included in multiple “Who’s Who” publications around the world. William has a first class honours degree in electronics, a PhD and an MBA. He can be contacted at william.webb@ofcom.org.uk.
