Umer Farooq is a Doctoral Candidate in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network iSense at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Within the DN-iSense project at TU/e, he conducts research in the Electrical Energy Systems group, focusing on Vibrating Intrinsic Reverberation Chambers (VIRC) for advanced electromagnetic measurements. His research involves the development and use of state-of-the-art measurement techniques, including VIRC, near-field scanning, and distributed sensing, combined with advanced algorithms to analyze and characterize electromagnetic interference (EMI) footprints.

Umer earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI), Pakistan, where he worked around antennas, microwave components and metasurfaces for various applications. He also possesses extensive experience in radar systems for both commercial and military applications.

His research interests include radar systems, phased array antennas, and electromagnetic shielding, with a particular focus on medical, avionics, and aerospace applications.
