The Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, at UCL, has a long tradition of research excellence in Microwaves, Radar and Optics, dating back to its foundation in 1885 by Professor Sir Ambrose Fleming, inventor of the thermionic valve and constructor of the equipment used by Marconi for the first transatlantic radio communication in 1901. Over the years, Professors Harold Barlow, Alec Cullen, 'DEN' Davies, John Forrest and Hugh Griffiths (pictured right) have maintained and, indeed, built on the impressive stature of the Department in this area. |

Our principal areas of research are radar and sonar systems, antennas, phased arrays, microwave and MMIC circuits and computer modelling of fields, with funding from a wide range of sources including DERA, EPSRC, EC and numerous UK industrial partners. The group is led by Professor Hugh Griffiths and involves 11 full-time and visiting members of academic staff and some 16 postgraduate students or research assistants.
