Bio

Miguel Drummond was born in Porto, Portugal in 1984. He graduated in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering at the University of Aveiro in 2007. He concluded his PhD in photonic devices for optical and RF signal processing at the same University in 2011. From 2011 to 2014, he worked as an R&D engineer first at Nokia Siemens Networks, and then at Coriant, which are now Infinera.
Since September of 2014 he has been a research scientist at Instituto de Telecomunicações, Aveiro. He has been the group leader of the research cluster Optical Components and Subsystems since 2021. In Nokia Siemens Networks – Optical Networks (now Infinera) he specialized in digital signal processing for high bit rate coherent optical transceivers. He worked on the design, validation and implementation of many different algorithms comprising the receive-side DSP, leading to the invention of a data-aided chromatic dispersion estimation method. He also represented the company in the FP7 European project GALACTICO. He revised and managed the entire patent portfolio of the company.
Since September 2014, Miguel Drummond has been a Research Scientist at Instituto de Telecomunicações. Until July 2017, he was the Technical Coordinator of FP7 European project BEACON, which culminated in a state-of-the-art photonic beamformer for a receive-side phased array antenna. From 2018 to 2021, he was the Principal Investigator of project SOFTLI, funded by Bosch Car Multimedia, which culminated in five international patent applications covering automotive LiDAR waveforms, sampling techniques and estimation methods. Since 2022, he has been the Photonic System Manager in project PHOAM, funded by ESA, which aims to build a flat-panel phased array antenna for satellite communications.
His main research interests are in beamforming for large-scale phased-array antennas, automotive LiDAR sensors, and machine learning models for autonomous driving.

Among them, Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) presents the unique advantage of acquiring a high resolution 3D representation of the vehicle surroundings, in the form of point clouds, which enables accurate 3D object detection. The success of the fi rst (and current) generation LiDARs has motivated the development of a second generation of this sensor, now based on coherent detection. Second generation LiDARs thus enable not only estimating radial distance, but also radial velocity for each point of the point cloud. The objective of this work is to investigate which benefi ts can be obtained by considering such an additional information – radial velocity – in 3D object detection. Results show that considering object velocity is particularly helpful in objects represented by a small number of points., 30-11-2023
