Welcome to the homepage of Pedro Pedrosa

Full Name: Pedro Miguel Ferreira de Oliveira Pedrosa

 I’m currently working towards a Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Rui Dinis and co-supervision of Prof. Fernando Nunes at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Universidade Técnica de Lisboa (UTL). My main research activities are held at the Instituto de Telecomunicações - Lisboa (IT-Lisboa) with the support of a FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia) grant. My current interests are in wireless communications, specifically on the detection and correction of frequency errors in multicarrier schemes.

Academic Degrees (all from the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Technical University of Lisbon)

· B.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineer (2007)

· M.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (2007)

Interests and Research Areas

· Frequency Synchronization for Multicarrier Schemes
