Research

CWI has a 50-strong team of academics, postdocs, PhD students and engineers who develop innovative underpinning technologies for physical layer wireless.

Since CWI’s inception, our mission has been to develop truly disruptive, end-to-end physical layer wireless technologies and techniques that will assist in the creation of a data-driven, hyper-connected society.

Our researchers focus on two primary themes of investigation -- RF through THz Systems, and Signal Processing and Communication Theory. 

Underlying these two primary themes are six, grand challenged focused, sub themes:

  • Future Cellular Systems (5G & Beyond, 6G)
  • Electromagnetic Sensing (incl. Imaging)
  • Green Wireless (Wireless Power Transfer, Energy scavenging, …)
  • Space Applications (Antenna designs)
  • Connected & Autonomous Systems (IoT, Body Area networks, …)
  • Physical Layer Secure Wireless

Research Culture

Professor Simon Cotton, Research Director at CWI, explains the research culture in wireless.

The videos below show the cutting-edge research that we're doing at CWI to create a positive impact for society.
