Venkat Reddy Kandregula joined CSA Catapult in September 2025. Before moving to Wales, he worked as an Early Stage Researcher under the Marie Skłodowska‑Curie Actions as part of the Innovative Training Networks within the EU‑funded Horizon programme. During this period, he developed an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform capable of performing outdoor antenna measurements. His work includes antenna design, computationally intensive electromagnetic simulations, 3D printing using fused deposition modelling, and configuring UAVs as both transmitters and receivers using spectrum analysers and signal generators. Prior to moving to the UK, he worked as an RF Engineer at ANDREW, an Amphenol Company, in India, and as a Research Assistant at the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), India. His expertise includes antenna design, computational electromagnetics, metamaterials for beamforming applications, software‑defined radios for outdoor measurements, neural networks for 5G/beyond‑5G applications, and additive manufacturing for RF applications.
