The NATO STO held a special event for early-career scientists at the NATO Science and Technology Board (STB)
fall meeting
last month, bringing together 12 researchers from 11 NATO Nations. The scientists presented and fielded questions about their work at the meeting, which was held on 18-22 September in Helsinki, Finland.
The scientists selected to present at the STB meeting are part of the STO’s network of more than 5,000 researchers from across the Alliance – the world’s largest collaborative network for defence-focused science and technology research. Early-career scientists play a key role in the STO Collaborative Programme of Work, introducing new perspectives and expertise, and helping to ensure its sustainability into the future.
“Your research, your ideas, your dedication, are critical to strengthening NATO’s capabilities,” NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoană said in a
video address
to the early career scientists at the STB meeting. “The work you do today will play a vital role in maintaining our competitive edge for years to come, bolstering our defences and ensuring the security of our Nations and our people.”
Each scientist was allotted three minutes to present their work to the STB, and engaged in further discussions at a poster session afterwards. The scientists who presented at the STB meeting, as well as the topics of their presentations, are listed below.
Dr Enrica D’Afflisio (Italy), “Statistical signal processing, target tracking and data fusion”
Mr Luke Gallantree (United Kingdom), “Land platform systems”
Mr Karel Pärlin (Estonia), “Secure and reliable wireless communications”
Ms Barbora Hrnčířová (Czechia), “Microbial bioengineering”
Mr Kryzsztof Stasiak (Poland), “Radar signal processing, digital signal processing and electronic warfare”
Mr Salvatore Esposito (Italy), “Hypersonic plasma, plasma scattering”
Capt Christian Andersson (Finland), “Robotics: military autonomous multi-purpose unmanned ground vehicles”
Ms Anna Stumme (United States), “Additive manufacturing for radio frequency applications”
Mr Mathias Anneken (Germany), “Maritime surveillance using anomaly detection based on machine learning and artificial intelligence”
Ms Kristin Waage (Norway), “Economic statecraft and military technology development/adoption”
2nd Lt André Manuel Miranda Gomes Pereira (Portugal), “Inductive wireless charging and coil design”
Dr Ema Becirovic (Sweden) “Electronic warfare”
As the governing body of the NATO STO, the STB oversees and directs the work of the STO’s scientific and technical committees, as well as its three executive bodies: the Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), the Collaboration Support Office, and the Office of the Chief Scientist. The STB is composed of members from Allied Nations, as well as representatives from other NATO bodies, and convenes twice a year (spring and fall).

Ms Barbora Hrnčířová (Czechia) won the award for best research presentation, for her discussion on “Unlocking the potential of inedible plant biomass using microbial engineering and synthetic biology. Mr Luke Galantree (United Kingdom) and Ms Kristin Waage (Norway) won the awards for best research posters. Mr Galantree presented his work on “Augmented Reality to Enhance Situation Awareness for Armoured Fighting Vehicle (AFV) Crews”, and Ms Waage presented her work on “Economic Statecraft, Technology and Security”.
