Joonas Säe
About me
I work as a Staff Scientist at the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences (ITC) at Tampere University, in close collaboration with the Electrical Engineering Unit in the area of Communications Engineering and Radio Systems for both research and education. I am also one of the persons responsible for drone operations at Tampere University.
Wireless communications infrastructures: RF-Laboratories (TC407a/b), 4G/5G test networks, IoT test networks.
Responsibilities
I am responsible for the wireless communications research infrastructure located at the Hervanta campus. I also study the corresponding research field.
In addition, my responsibilities include, but are not limited to: teaching (5G), MSc supervision, responsible person of EE webpages, networking and research services for industry and research organizations. Supporting research application preparations related to the use of wireless infrastructures.
Research topics
