BSc, MA, PhD, FIMA
Professor Coon received a BSc degree (with distinction) in Electrical Engineering from Clemson University, USA in 2000. In 2005, he completed a PhD in Communications at the University of Bristol.
Professor Coon held the position of Research Manager at Toshiba Research Europe Ltc. from 2010 – 2013, during which time he led all theoretical and applied research on the physical layer at TRL. Professor Coon joined the University of Oxford in 2013 as a University Lecturer in the Department of Engineering Science and a Tutorial Fellow of Oriel College.
Professor Coon is the recipient of TRL’s Distinguished Research Award for his work on block-spread CDMA, aspects of which have been adopted as mandatory features in the 3GPP LTE Rel-8 standard.
Professor Coon is also the Technical Manager of the EU FP7 project DIWINE, has served as an Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications (2007 – 2013) and the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (2013 – present). He is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
Professor Coon’s research interests include communication theory, network theory, and signal processing.
Professor Coon has published in excess of 80 papers in leading international journals and conferences, and is a named inventor on more than 30 patents. Papers include:
