## About

Dr. Jorge Querol (also indexed in early bibliographic records as **Jorge Querol Borràs** / **J. Querol Borras**) is a Senior Researcher and Head of the [6GSPACE Lab](https://6gspacelab.uni.lu) at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust ([SnT](https://www.uni.lu/snt-en/)), University of Luxembourg, within the Signal Processing and Communications (SIGCOM) research group.

He leads a team of 40+ researchers advancing **6G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)**, **AI-accelerated satellite communications**, **Joint Communications, Sensing and Positioning (JCAS/JCAP)**, **GNSS anti-jamming & RF interference mitigation**, and **quantum/optical space communications**. He is also co-founder of **MITIC Solutions S.L.** (UPC-BarcelonaTech deep-tech spin-off) and an **Independent Technical Consultant** for space agencies, satellite operators, telecom vendors, and defense organizations.

## Key Metrics (Verified 2026)

- **40+ Researchers Managed** at the 6GSPACE Lab (SnT, University of Luxembourg)
- **180 Scientific Publications** (50+ peer-reviewed journal articles in IEEE JSAC, Proc. IEEE, IEEE TCOMM, IEEE TVT, IEEE JSTARS, IEEE OJCOMS; 125+ conference papers, preprints & theses)
- **4,100+ Citations**, **h-index 25** (Google Scholar)
- **€9.8M+ Competitive R&D Funding Secured** (Principal Investigator of 11 projects, Vice-PI/Co-Lead of 12 more)
- **1 US Granted Patent** (`US9596610B1` – Real-time RF interference detection and mitigation system)

## Core Research & Consulting Pillars

1. **6G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)**: 3GPP Rel-17/18/19+ 5G/6G NR over LEO/MEO/GEO, Direct-to-Device (D2D), TDD/FDD guard-period optimization, Holographic MIMO, and multi-orbit connectivity.
2. **AI-Driven Anti-Jamming & Interference Countermeasures**: Pre-correlation RFI excision, GNSS jamming/spoofing resilience, microwave radiometry protection, and neuromorphic/spiking neural network onboard processing.
3. **Joint Communications, Sensing & Positioning (JCAS / JCAP)**: Multi-Functional Satellite Systems (MFSS Levels 1–4), bistatic radar using LEO Signals of Opportunity (Starlink iSoOp-R), and hybrid GNSS-5G PNT.
4. **Quantum & Optical Space Infrastructure**: Free-Space Optical (FSO) links, structured-light Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), and Cassegrain optical terminals.
