Personal Data:

Andrej Vilhar graduated from Faculty of Electrical Engineering at University of Ljubljana in 2004. He joined the Communication Technology Laboratory at Department of Communication Systems of Jožef Stefan Institute, as a PhD student. His main research topic at graduate level was mobility management in the internet. He successfully defended his doctoral thesis in 2009.

After his PhD, he focused on the field of radio waves propagation. In the period 2009/2010, he spent 1 year as a post-doc reasearcher at French research institution ONERA, where he took part in the developement of a processing tool for analysis of high-frequency satellite signals. He was later involved in several projects in the field of radio-wave propagation, including industrial projects, European-framework projects and projects for the European Space Agency (ESA). He was a co-developer of an open-source terrestrial radio planning tool GRASS-RaPlaT, used in several research activities and by a Slovenian Telecom operator. Since 2011, he has been leading projects for ESA, in the scope of which JSI has developed and deployed a high frequency satellite signals measurement network. The network consists of 4 sites with 5 stations, measuring Ka- and Q/V-band beacon signals, with the purpose to study atmospheric impact on satellite propagation.

In 2017, he joined the Parallel and Distributed Systems Laboratory, where he takes part as a developer of methods for time synchronisation in wireless sensor networks, with a specific application to multiple wireless ECG monitoring.

Dr. Vilhar is author or co-author of more than 50 refereed journal and conference papers. He regularly serves as Technical Program Committee member to various international conferences and workshops and as an active reviewer for several international scientific journals.
