Biography

Dr Bartlett received the BEng and MASc degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada, in 2017 and 2019, respectively, and the Dr-Ing degree in electrical and information engineering from Kiel University, Kiel, Germany, in 2023. From 2019 to 2023, he was a Member of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme for early-stage researchers where his work focused on advanced filter solutions for high-performance millimetre and submillimetre-wave systems.

From 2023 to 2025, he conducted postdoctoral research with Kiel University, and worked in industry before joining the University of Birmingham as an Assistant Professor of Applied Electromagnetics and Antennas.

His primary research interests include microwave and millimetre-wave passive components, filters, multiplexers and antenna networks for the next generation of satellite and communication systems, as well as developing methods for overcoming challenges in microscale designs.
