Tyndall National Institute has announced that Kevin Martin, PhD student with Tyndall’s Advanced RF Technologies Group and University College Cork’s (UCC) School of Engineering, supervised by Professor Dimitra Psychogiou, has been awarded the highly competitive 2025 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (APS) Fellowship.

Martin’s fellowship-winning project, 'Adaptive In-Band Full-Duplex Solution Using Bandpass Filter-based RF Cancellers and Antenna-based Techniques for Self-Interference Cancellation (BASIC),' focuses on developing new technologies that allow wireless devices to send and receive signals at the same time without interference. His work will support the creation of smaller, more efficient, and more adaptable components, important building blocks for future 6G wireless systems.

This international fellowship is one of the most prestigious early-career awards offered by the IEEE APS community. Martin's selection, following a global competition, highlights the excellence of advanced RF research at Tyndall and UCC and marks a significant achievement for Ireland’s growing leadership in cutting-edge communications technologies.

Prof Psychogiou said: "Kevin’s achievement is a tremendous milestone for both Tyndall and UCC. The IEEE APS Fellowship is awarded to the most promising student and early-career researchers worldwide, and this recognition reflects Kevin’s exceptional talent and the strength of our Advanced RF Technologies research. His work is helping to shape the future of wireless communications, and we are incredibly proud of his success."
