Welcome Dr. Daniel R. Prado joining our group as a PDRA/postdoc researcher!
Daniel R. Prado was born in Sama de Langreo, Asturias, Spain, in 1986. He received the B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in telecommunication engineering from the University of Oviedo, Gijón, Spain, in 2011, 2012, and 2016, respectively.
From 2010 to 2011, he was with The Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology, Queen’s University Belfast, Belfast, U.K., where he was involved in the design of leaky-wave antennas as part of his B.Sc. research project. From 2011 to 2017, he was a Research Assistant with the Signal Theory and Communications Area, University of Oviedo, where he was involved in the development of efficient techniques for the analysis and synthesis of reflectarray antennas. In 2014, he was with the School of Electrical Engineering, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, as a Visiting Scholar, where he was involved in transformation optics applied to dielectric lenses. From 2018 to 2019, he was with the Institute of Sensors, Signals and Systems, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, U.K. From January 2020 to June 2023 he was with the Signal Theory and Communications Area, University of Oviedo, as a Post-doctoral researcher. From October 2023 to present he has been with the Institute of Sensors, Signals and Systems, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, U.K, as a Post-doctoral research associate. His current research interests include the analysis of uniform and nonuniform arrays, and the development of efficient techniques for the analysis ando ptimization of near and far fields of spatially-fed antennas, including reflectarrays and transmitarrays.
Dr. Prado was a recipient of a Pre-doctoral Scholarship financed by the Gobierno del Principado de Asturias, a Post-doctoral Fellowship partially financed by the European Union and a Post-doctoral Fellowship financed by the Spanish Government.
