Digital Infrastructure
Dr. Boris is a Senior Researcher in the Wireless Communications Lab in Tyndall National Institute. Boris Received his PhD from Trinity College Dublin in 2019 with a thesis titled “On the Performance and Design Tradeoffs of Low-Altitude UAV Small Cells in Urban Environments” which explored the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as flying cellular network infrastructure to deliver cell phone service to temporary data demand hotspots. Boris’s current research focuses on the use of UAVs for wireless communication and sensing tasks, in applications such as emergency first response. He is a Royal Society University Research Fellow and a principal investigator on several projects that explore UAV use in a variety of applications, ranging from missing person rescue to long-range communication for military personnel.
