About

George Sklivanitis is a researcher at the forefront of wireless communications and networked autonomous systems, with a focus on enabling robust, high-speed connectivity for robotic platforms. His work bridges the gap between simulation and real-world deployment, particularly for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms. In his highly cited 2022 paper, "RF-SITL: A Software-in-the-loop Channel Emulator for UAV Swarm Networks," Sklivanitis introduced a novel radio frequency software-in-the-loop (RF-SITL) channel emulator built on GNU Radio and the UB-ANC emulator. This tool allows for integrated, realistic testing of multi-UAV communication systems, addressing a critical bottleneck in swarm development. Complementing this, his work on "Single-Sample Direction-of-Arrival Estimation by Hankel-matrix Decompositions" (2022) tackles the challenge of rapid, effective direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation for signals in high-frequency bands like mm-wave and future THz, which is essential for maintaining high data-rate links in fast-moving ground, air, and space robots. With over 9 citations across these key papers, Sklivanitis is making significant strides in the practical realization of next-generation autonomous networks.
