Area of Expertise
- Software Defined Radio (SDR)
- Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA)
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
- MATLAB/ Simulink SDR Implementations
- RTL-SDR and USRP SDR Hardware
- FPGA and Zynq development
Qualifications
I studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, and graduated in June 2014 with a First Class (Hons) Bachelor's Degree. Following this I studied for a PhD in the EEE Department at the University of Strathclyde. I successfully defended my thesis in December 2020, which presented a cognitive dynamic spectrum radio solution implemented on programmable ZynqSDR hardware, that enabled secondary user access to the FM Radio band.
