Professor Carmine Clemente

Electronic and Electrical Engineering

Personal statement

I am a Professor in Radar Systems and Signal Processing at the University of Strathclyde. My research is focussed on RF sensor signal processing for defence and civilian applications. I am currently involved in projects collaborating with governmental institutions, industries and universities from the USA, China and Europe.
My research portfolio include Automatic Target Recognition, Multi-static, MIMO , Passive and Cognitive radars, Synthetic Aperture Radar, Electronic Surveillance, Earth Observation, machine learning, AI, and all the techniques that can be classified as emerging radar techniques. Furthermore I am interested in transferring the solutions developed in the defence and security scenarios to other fields such as industrial condition monitoring and biomedical signal processing.

Leonardo Lab: Parra Garcia, Laura (Principal Investigator) Clemente, Carmine (Principal Investigator) Di Caterina, Gaetano (Principal Investigator); - Leonardo Labs is a new framework for interacting with Universities that has been running successfully in Italy for many years.
- The intention is to form strong, strategic relationships between Leonardo and UK Universities by investing in specific research groups and staff.
- Generation of SQEP and targeted research aligned to Leonardo themes (e.g. Autonomy)
- As part of a UK rollout, the Glasgow City Leonardo Lab (GCLL), conducted a short 3-month pilot study (Phase 0) during summer 2025.
- The aim of this study was to showcase the viability of Leonardo Labs within the UK via a demo of integrated autonomy using novel sensors and platforms.; 01-Jan-2025 - 01-Jan-2025
