Dr. Budimir received the Dipl. Ing. and M. Sc. degrees in electronic engineering from the University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia, and the Ph.D. degree in electronic and electrical engineering from the University of Leeds, Leeds, U.K. In March l994, he joined the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Kings College London, University of London, UK. Since January 1997, he has been with the School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Westminster, London, UK, where he is now a Reader of wireless communications. Dr. Budimir is Head of the Wireless Communications Research Group at UoW and a Visiting Professor at the University of Belgrade. He has published more than 350 papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings, four books/book chapters and software's (the book Generalized Filter Design by Computer Optimization, ISBN 0-89006-579-9, Atrtech House Books, March 1998, and the Software and User’s Manual EPFIL-Waveguide E-plane Filter Design (Artech House, 2000) and a book chapter in Encyclopedia of RF and Microwave Engineering (Wiley, 2005) over 16 Invited papers/lectures, over 19 Seminars/Workshops, one TV program (BBC World Service programme on Microwaves, 17 Nov. 2010) in the field of RF/microwave and mmWave wireless systems and technologies. He has won awards for his journal papers. Dr. Budimir is a wireless RF, micro-/mm-wave circuits and systems expert of over 25 years’ experience as an academic. His expertise includes design of circuits from RF through uWave/mmWave to Terahertz frequencies for 4G, 5G, B5G and 6G wireless communications, WLAN, WPT, wireless sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) and biomedical applications. He serves as an Associate Editor for IET Electronic Letters (Oct. 2015 - Jan. 2020), He was a local co-chair of European Microwave Week Conference (EuMW2016)/European Antenna and Propagation Conference (EuCAP2018), will be TPC co-chair and a local arrangement chair of European Microwave Week Conference (EuMW2021)/ and member of the TPC of several conferences. He is a Member of the EPSRC Peer Review College, a senior Member of IEEE, a Member of IET and a Chartered Engineer. He has supervised 22 PhD/4 MRes/over 100 MSc theses through to completion and currently supervising 2 PhD theses as the main supervisor (DoS).
Led by Dr. Djuradj Budimir the Wireless Communications Research Group (WCRG) has been operational since 1998 and during that time was submitted by the University to three Research Assessments including REF-2014. The Wireless Communications Research Group (https://www.westminster.ac.uk/research/groups-and-centres/wireless-communications-research-group) was established to investigate new lines of research which can readily be transferred to industry. We are based within the Faculty of Science and Technology. Our research on wireless communications is a recognised world leader in the advanced design of circuits and subsystems from RF through uWave/mm-Wave to Terahertz frequencies for 4G, 5G, B5G and 6G wireless communications, WLAN, UWB, wireless sensors, Internet-of-Things (IoT), M2M and biomedical applications. In addition, members of the group deal with the development of selected aspects of the underlying theory of signals and systems for a wide range of engineering applications and design, development and improvement of efficient computational intelligent algorithms for various applications in computer engineering. More specifically, it is related to intelligent analysis of data for modelling, classification and control. The group has produced numerous peer-reviewed papers in journals such as IEEE Transactions and other prestigious journals and conferences. The group has very comprehensive facilities including the latest RF, microwave and mm-wave wireless communication test and measurement equipment. The group is involved into an extensive national and international collaboration. The activities are sponsored by EPSRC, EU, the Royal Society, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the Nuffield Foundation.
