Dr. Candell is recognized for spearheading a multi-year initiative to develop a precision channel-sounding apparatus, measure channel impulse responses at various industrial sites, and disseminate measurement data and channel models extensively used by wireless product developers and referenced by researchers. This resulted in numerous publications and several international collaborations with corporations such as Intel, Yokogawa, Emerson Automation and Boeing. His chairmanship of the IEEE P3388 standardization effort and organization of NIST/IEEE industrial wireless workshops within the Industrial Electronics Society have fueled growth and interest in this important research domain.
