Two UCL Professors elected new Fellows of the Royal Society

Hugh Griffiths and Roger Lemon - Professor Hugh Griffiths (UCL Electronic & Electrical Engineering) and Professor Roger Lemon (UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology) have been elected Fellows of the Royal Society. They are among 63 scientists from the around the world who have newly joined the Royal Society as Fellows and Foreign Members in recognition of their exceptional contributions to science. Professor Griffiths holds the THALES/Royal Academy Chair of RF Sensors in UCL's department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering. He is a Fellow of the IET, IEEE and was elected to Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 1997. His research has been in the field of radar, including satellite-borne radar for geophysical remote sensing and for surveillance in defence and security, and particularly in bistatic radar, in which the transmitter and receiver are spatially separated. Most recently he has been working on commensal radar, which is based on communications, broadcast of radionavigation signals which are optimised both for their primary purpose and as radar signals. This will become increasingly important as the demand for spectrum from all users continues to grow.
