About

Radu Curpen is a researcher specializing in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) security and wireless communications, with a particular focus on the vulnerabilities and countermeasures associated with LTE-connected drone systems. His most recognized contribution examines the efficiency of signal jamming techniques against LTE-enabled UAVs, a timely and critical area of study given the rapid proliferation of commercial and industrial drone applications. As UAVs increasingly rely on cellular networks rather than traditional line-of-sight radio links, understanding their susceptibility to signal interference has significant implications for both civilian safety and national security. Curpen's work addresses real-world deployment scenarios spanning aerial photography, disaster management, precision agriculture, and geographic mapping — domains where drone reliability and communications security are paramount. His research on jamming efficiency has attracted notable attention within the UAV and telecommunications security communities, accumulating citations across multiple publication venues. By bridging the fields of RF communications and aerial robotics security, Curpen contributes to an emerging body of knowledge that informs regulators, engineers, and security professionals working to develop safer and more resilient UAV operational frameworks.
