Dr Kevin Morris

Address: Room 5.16 Merchant Venturers Building, Woodland Road, Bristol, BS8 1UB, UK Tel.: +44 (0)117 954 5268 Fax: +44 (0)117 954 5206 E-mail: Kevin.Morris@bristol.ac.uk

Dr Morris currently holds the post of Senior Lecturer in Radio Frequency Engineering at the University of Bristol. He received his B.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in electronics and communications engineering from the University of Bristol in 1995 and 2000, respectively.

He is  the principle investigator on a 5 year collaborative EPSRC project between the Universities of Cardiff and Bristol. The object of this project is the rigorous design of efficient power amplifiers for use in future communications systems. He also leads a three year industrially funded project in the area of efficient linear amplifier design.

He has authored or co-authored a number of academic papers in key international journals/conferences and is the joint author of 3 patents. Dr Morris currently supervises 6 PhD students and 2 research associates. He has given a number of invited lectures in efficient linear amplifier design both in the UK and Japan.

Research Interests
