Affiliations & Roles

Dr. Conor Brennan is an Associate Professor in the School of Electronic Engineering at Dublin City University. His roles include academic leadership, research supervision, and teaching in propagation modeling, RF simulation, and computational methods. He is affiliated with the Stokes and FutureTech buildings and collaborates internationally, including with Wuhan University for joint Master's programs.

Research Interests

His work focuses on wave propagation modeling across rural, urban, and indoor environments, emphasizing computational electromagnetics, rough surface scattering, and metamaterial design. Innovations include full-wave models using integral equations and acceleration techniques like the Fast Far Field Algorithm (FAFFA) and Improved Tabulated Interaction Method (I-TIM). Urban studies involve vehicular channels and millimeter-wave systems, while indoor research explores volume integral equation methods and seamless localization (SEAMLOC).

Teaching

Brennan teaches advanced modules such as Propagation and Channel Modelling, , and engineering mathematics courses. His pedagogical contributions include developing technology-enhanced assessments (TeRMEd) and the UniDoodle student response system.

Grants & Collaborations

Research is supported by grants in wireless communication, sensor networks, and metamaterials. Collaborations span academia and industry, with notable projects in vegetation THz propagation, plant monitoring nanosensors, and curriculum design for telecommunication engineering.

Labs & Teams

He leads a dynamic team including graduates (e.g., Patrick Bradley, Marie Mullen) and current researchers (Vinh Pham, Ian Kavanagh). The group utilizes advanced simulation tools and experimental setups for propagation analysis, localization, and materials testing.
