Robert Cahill received a BSc (1st class) honours degree in Physics from the University of Aston in Birmingham in 1979 and a PhD degree in microwave electronics from the University of Kent at Canterbury in 1982.

From 1982 – 1999 he was employed by British Aerospace and Matra Marconi Space in Bristol where he worked on antenna and passive microwave device technology projects for space and defence applications.

He joined the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Queen’s University in 1999 where is currently a reader.
