Biography

Pascal Aubry obtained the MSc degree in electronics and microwaves from the Pierre et Marie Curie University (Paris 6) in 1993. After a one-year traineeship in antenna measurements at the European Space Research and Technology Centre, he joined TU Delft's International Research Centre for Telecommunication and Radar in 1997. There, he developed automated measurement software for the outdoors, indoors, and ground penetrating radar antenna test ranges. He is involved in the testing of antennas and radar systems as well as designing experimental setups to support research in domains such as landmine detection, concealed weapon detection, UWB radar imaging, and coloured waveforms for MIMO radar, for domestic and European projects. In addition, he supervises the lab sessions for many of the Microwave Sensing, Signals and Systems group courses. He co-authored over 50 peer-reviewed international journal papers and conference proceedings.
