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, namely the detection and correction of frequency errors in multicarrier schemes.
