“Undertaking a position within the TESLA project will enable me to apply my knowledge
in a hands-on setting while gaining good and valuable experience. This is an opportunity
to bridge the gap between formal education and practical work experience and
become fully immersed in an engineering environment.”

Enrique López Oliver, Early Stage Researcher

Enrique López Oliver was born in Valencia, Spain. He obtained his Bachelor and Master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) in 2015 and 2017 respectively. In the fall 2016, he was an exchange student at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). From April 2019 to June 2019 he worked in the Microwave and Wideband Department at the company Indra Sistemas, S.A. working in the developing of RF/Microwave modules for electronic warfare applications. In July 2019, he started his PhD at the University of Perugia, as part of the TESLA project H2020-MSCA-ITN.

Enrique’s project is entitled, ‘Use of additive manufacturing for microwave components for spa applications up to terahertz frequencies’. This research grant concerns the study of microwave and RF components for aerospace applications made with AM. In particular, materials and processes suitable for space applications will be investigated. Furthermore, new classes of components (filters, antennas, etc.) will be designed with geometries suitable to exploit as much as possible the high flexibility of this technology.

Enrique’s supervisor is Prof. Cristiano Tomassoni, Università degli Studi di Perugia (UNIPG)
