About

Iryna Pochanina is a leading researcher in ultra-wideband (UWB) radar systems, with a focused application on humanitarian demining and through-wall imaging. Her work addresses the critical need for advanced sensor technologies to detect buried landmines, particularly in conflict-affected regions like Eastern Ukraine. Pochanina’s major contributions include the design and simulation of a compact, lightweight impulse ground-penetrating radar (GPR) with a “single transmitter – four receiver” configuration, optimized for detecting buried targets in natural soils. She has also pioneered the integration of the Industry 4.0 paradigm—leveraging robotics, sensors, and Internet connectivity—into UWB radiolocation platforms for autonomous search-and-detection missions. Her most cited paper (21 citations) reviews modern trends in multi-sensor robotic radar systems for demining and through-wall imaging, while her subsequent works (15 and 10 citations) advance practical GPR designs and smart system architectures. Pochanina’s research directly bridges theoretical radar engineering with life-saving field applications, making her a key figure in the development of next-generation, intelligent demining technologies.
