Khalifa University and ELT Group to Establish Centre of Excellence in Abu Dhabi

ELT group and Khalifa University of Science and Technology recently announced that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand the knowledge of the management of Electromagnetic Spectrum in the UAE.
 
The MoU was signed by Dr. Ebrahim Al Hajri, Senior Vice‐President, Support Services, Khalifa University, and Paolo Izzo, Senior Vice‐President, Chief Sales Officer, ELT Group.
 
The main objectives of this cooperation will be collaboration in the areas of academic research and teaching, in accordance with Khalifa University’s mandate, in the field of Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) Application to enhance the skills and knowledge of human capital at Khalifa University and within the UAE.

The EMS application Centre of Excellence will be a digital laboratory gymnasium where the latest generation of electromagnetic spectrum equipment will be simulated, allowing Khalifa University students to apply it to their studies.
 
Dr. Ebrahim Al Hajri, SVP, Support Services, and Associate Professor, Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, Khalifa University, said: “We are delighted to partner with the ELT Group in establishing the Centre of Excellence for the Electromagnetic Spectrum Applications (EMSA) at Khalifa University.

Within its faculty, Khalifa University has considerable specialist experience in this area. We believe this MoU will pave the way further to expand our activities and associated programmes and develop our laboratory capabilities through state-of-the-art equipment available to students and researchers.”
 
Successful Collaboration
ELT Group has a long history of collaboration with the UAE, established in the early 1990s when it started offering cutting-edge products across the field of electronic warfare (EW) to support the country’s defence capabilities. The company’s presence in the country for over 40 years has contributed to the growth of technologies and skills actively cooperating with the Armed Forces.
 
Enzo Benigni, President and CEO, ELT Group, added: “It is my pleasure to sign this MoU with Khalifa University of Science and Technology in order to establish a Centre of Excellence for the Electromagnetic Spectrum Application. I’m deeply impressed by this exceptional establishment in Abu Dhabi, distinguished by its world-class facilities.

Its firm commitment to innovation is pivotal in transforming both Abu Dhabi and the UAE into leading innovation hubs of ingenuity and progress. The signature of the Memorandum of Understanding is a concrete sign of our intent to impart our 70 years of experience to new generations of Emirati engineers. Khalifa University students will have access to a digital laboratory gymnasium where the latest generation of electromagnetic spectrum equipment will be simulated, enabling them to excel in the marketplace related to EMS application with advanced academic and practical certification paths.”
 
The signing of this MoU is an opportunity for ELT to enrich Khalifa University engineers’ capabilities in the area of Electromagnetic Spectrum applications to enhance the ingenuity and the progress of Khalifa University as a leading innovation hub.
 
Innovative Contributions
Globally-ranked Khalifa University excels in research and innovation in ESMA, with researchers making progress towards a new way of generating terahertz radiation at room temperature, which could be useful for detecting toxic gases, explosives, and even diseases.
 
In another significant achievement, a Khalifa University researcher recently received the Young Scientist Award from the Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale during the 35th General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (URSI GASS) 2023 for her work on the significance of kappa distributed electrons on electrostatic solitary waves (ESW) in the magnetosphere of planet Saturn.

The award recognises young individuals – less than 35 years of age – who have made innovative contributions and discoveries in multidisciplinary research related to radio science, which is the study of all aspects of electromagnetic fields and waves.
