Professor Barry Evans is a faculty member at the University of Surrey, affiliated with the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering and the Institute for Communication Systems. He holds a BSc (First Class Honors) and PhD from the University of Leeds. His career includes foundational work on telecommunication systems, including pioneering contributions to radio propagation research, satellite systems, and speech coding at the University of Essex (1968-1983). His research focuses on satellite communications integration with 5G/6G networks, edge computing, and hybrid terrestrial-satellite systems. His academic background spans over five decades, with notable achievements in developing dual-polarization satellite systems and SCPC syllabic companded FM, a satellite standard adopted by developing countries. His work emphasizes next-generation network architectures, spectrum sharing, and cognitive radio applications in satellite environments. Publications highlight advancements in 6G satellite communications, hybrid routing methods for mega-constellations, and QoE-aware video streaming over integrated networks. Key themes include network convergence, interference management, and energy-efficient systems. His contributions have shaped standards for high-throughput satellites (HTS) and their role in 5G infrastructure. Notable projects include the SaT5G initiative exploring 5G satellite integration, the CoRaSat project on cognitive radio for satellite systems, and studies on Ka/Q/V-band applications for Earth observation missions. His work bridges academic research with practical implementations, focusing on scalable solutions for global broadband access.
