About

Dr. Kevin Chetty is a pioneering researcher in the field of passive radar and radio frequency (RF) sensing, with a particular focus on through-wall imaging and indoor mapping. His most notable contribution is the development of "ThruMapper," a groundbreaking system that leverages radio microwave-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) techniques to construct indoor floorplans without requiring line-of-sight into every room—a limitation of traditional vision- and LIDAR-based approaches. This work, cited 9 times, addresses a critical gap in situational awareness for first responders and security applications. Dr. Chetty’s broader research spans passive radar target detection, RF tomography, and machine learning for signal processing, where he has advanced the use of ambient signals (e.g., Wi-Fi, cellular) for covert sensing. His impact is reflected in over 50 peer-reviewed publications and multiple collaborative grants, including work with defense and emergency services. A Senior Lecturer at University College London, Dr. Chetty is recognized for translating complex radar concepts into practical, life-saving technologies, making him a leading voice in non-cooperative RF sensing.
