Professor Robert (Bob) Stewart is currently the MathWorks Professor of Signal Processing at the University of Strathclyde. He has been a professor at the University of Strathclyde since 2006 and is also a long-standing visiting professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Extension School.

At Strathclyde, Bob is Chair and Head of the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, with more than 55 academic staff and almost 300 researchers.

He has been working on digital communications and software-defined radio in recent years, with a specific interest in radio standards such as LTE, 802.11, and most recently on wireless white space radio utilising TV spectrum frequencies.

Dr Crockett is a Senior Teaching Fellow at the University of Strathclyde. She teaches across several years of the degree programmes in Electronic & Electrical Engineering, covering digital systems design with VHDL and FPGAs, digital signal processing implementation, and wireless communications. Louise also leads a team of PhD researchers working on FPGAs and SDR.

As lead-author / editor, Louise has published three books in collaboration with AMD (formerly Xilinx) on FPGA-based System on Chip (SoC) technology, including most recently Software Defined Radio with Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC in 2023.

Dr Crawford is a Principal Knowledge Exchange Fellow at the University of Strathclyde, where he manages a programme of industry/academic collaborative projects focusing on shared spectrum, private 5G networks, and future advanced communications. David has championed the development of shared spectrum methods and adoption for more than a decade.

David holds four degrees, all from Strathclyde, including a PhD and MBA. Prior to rejoining the University, initially to manage the Centre for White Space Communications, David worked in industry for Epson and Motorola.
