Students and researchers from the Applied Signal Processing Laboratory (LASP) and the INCT-Signals took part in the 2025 edition of the Brazilian Symposium on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (SBrT 2025).
The Federal University of Ceará (UFC) was represented by professors André Lima Férrer de Almeida (coordinator of INCT-Signals), Fazal-E Asim, Tarcisio Ferreira Maciel, and Yuri Carvalho Barbosa Silva, along with several students and scholarship holders associated with LASP and the project. Postdoctoral researcher Paulo Ricardo Barboza Gomes was also part of the delegation.
The Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA) was represented by professors Felix Antreich, Dimas Irion Alves, and Renato Machado, while the Federal University of Pampa (UNIPAMPA) was represented by professor Marcos Vinício Thomas Heckler.
In total, INCT-Signals researchers presented 14 scientific papers at the event, reinforcing the group’s relevance and impact in the national research landscape.
Among the highlights, the paper titled “Circuit-Based Modeling Approach for Channel Estimation in RIS-Assisted Communications”, authored by undergraduate student Daniel Chaves Alcântara (Telecommunications Engineering – UFC), received the Best Paper Award in Communications at SBrT 2025. The study resulted from a collaboration involving master’s student Daniel Victor Carvalho de Oliveira (PPGETI) and postdoctoral researchers Gilderlan Tavares de Araújo and Paulo Ricardo Barboza Gomes, under the supervision of professor André Lima Férrer de Almeida.
According to Prof. André de Almeida, coordinator of INCT-Signals, “The achievement of the Best Paper Award at SBrT 2025 reflects the excellence of the research carried out by our students and collaborators at INCT-Signals.”
Prof. Almeida also highlighted that “The significant number of papers produced by our researchers demonstrates the scientific and technological relevance of the project, enhancing its visibility within both the national and international scientific communities.”
