Professor A. Manikas holds the Chair of Communications
& Array Processing in the Department of Electrical & Electronic
Engineering, Imperial College London.
He is Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and
Technology (IET, formerly IEE) and Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and
its Applications (IMA).
He has served on various Editorial Boards, and he is currently Associate Editor
of the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems
He has held many research consultancies for the EU,
industry and government organisations and he was the Technical Lead/Director of
the University Defence Technology Centre in Signal Processing (supported by
Ministry of Defence UK and EPSRC – incorporating 12 British Universities),
2008-2013.
He is a member of the IEEE COMSOC, Signal Processing
and Aerospace Societies and has had various technical chairs at international
conferences including the Technical Program Committee Chair of the flagship
IEEE International Conference on Communications in 2015 (IEEE ICC 2015 London).
In 2016 and 2017 he was an IEEE COMSOC Distinguished
Lecturer and in 2017 and 2018 he was the Chair of the IEEE Communications
Technical Committee on Transmission, Access and Optical Systems (TAOS).
He has published an extensive set of journal and
conference papers in the areas of wireless communications, radar, antenna
arrays and array signal processing, and is the Author of a book (monograph)
entitled "Differential Geometry in Array Processing". He received the Best Paper Award at IEEE PIMRC 2022.
He has served as an Expert Witness in the High Court
of Justice in UK and Malaysia and as a Panel member (or External Assessor) in
various International Academies including the Royal Society's International
Fellowship Committee and the European Research Council (ERC).
Professor Manikas is leading a strong group of
researchers at Imperial College and has been the sole supervisor of more than
50 PhDs graduates and more than 150 Masters projects.
Professor Manikas is a member of New York Academy of
Science and a Chartered Engineer.
