Dr. Edwin Peters serves as a lecturer in the School of Engineering and Technology at UNSW Canberra, University of New South Wales. He delivers instruction in undergraduate Electrical Engineering and master's-level Space programs, covering courses such as Embedded Systems (ZEIT3223), Introduction to Digital Systems (ZEIT2208), and Satellite Communications (ZEIT8219). Dr. Peters supervises postgraduate and undergraduate students in applied signal processing, machine learning, and radar applications, including PhD projects on GNSS multi-static radar for space situational awareness, cis-lunar space domain awareness using passive RF, FPGA-based Direct Simulation Monte Carlo simulations, and autonomous data-driven modeling for satellite constellation management. His professional background includes expertise in signal processing, RF, embedded systems, control systems, and GPU-based signal processing, developed at Danish and Australian universities.
Dr. Peters' research focuses on signal processing for satellite communications, radar, embedded systems with FPGAs and edge computing, and GPU computing, applied to real-time spacecraft signal processing, space domain awareness, near-Earth asteroid tracking via radar, passive RF sensing, bistatic radar, and space debris characterization. He contributes to initiatives like the Southern Hemisphere Asteroid Radar Program (SHARP) and leads activities for Young Women in Engineering (YoWIE) space programs and Young Space Explorers. Select publications include "Planetary Defence: The Australian Context with the International Asteroid Warning Network" (Acta Astronautica, 2026, co-authored with Kruzins et al.), "Development of Radar and Optical Tracking of Near-Earth Asteroids at the University of Tasmania" (Remote Sensing, 2025, with White et al.), "Deep space debris—Detection of potentially hazardous asteroids and objects from the southern hemisphere" (Frontiers in Space Technologies, 2023, with Kruzins et al.), "A Doppler Correcting Software Defined Radio Receiver Design for Satellite Communications" (IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine, 2020), and "Predictive control for networked systems affected by correlated packet loss" (International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, 2019). His work appears in conferences such as AMOS, IAA Symposium on Space Debris, and IEEE symposiums, advancing planetary defense and space surveillance capabilities.
