Mohammed Jahangir (B.Sc. Ph.D., C.Eng, MIET) is the lead senior research fellow at the University of Birmingham Quantum Technology Hub Timing and Navigation programme. He is responsible for the development of a fully coherent quantum enabled networked staring radar. Having graduated with 1st class honours from Imperial College he joined the UK MoD research centre in Worcestershire to embark on a research career on surveillance radars. He obtained his PhD from UCL in 2000 on coherent radar clutter statistics. He has nearly three decades experience of working on many aspects of surveillance systems for both defence and the civil sector. He has widely collaborated with academia and industry in his pursuit to drive innovation in radar techniques. In 2013 he joined Aveillant Limited in Cambridge to be the R&D lead for the staring holographic radar and was recognised as a world leading expert on wind farm mitigation and counter drone surveillance. His current focus is on multi-function networked radar that harnesses persistent dwell to track difficult targets in complex clutter environment. He has several patents and published over 50 papers and three book chapters. He is the chair of the EMSIG UK Radar Society ASPIRE focus group, serves as a PRI for the IET Chartership registration and is a keen STEM ambassador.
