Reader

Electronic and Electrical Engineering

Personal statement

My research expertise is in Signal and Information Processing, with focus on representation, processing, analysis, communications and data management of information in a range of signals including electrical signals, video, seismic/geoscience, health/biological and other environmental sensor data. Besides the Energy dimension of the work, the research insights gained are also applicable to appliance manufacturing and food systems, especially in relation to environmental impact assessment and net zero GHG emissions. Overall my research interests revolve around sustainability. My work is particularly aligned with the following university strategic research themes (Measurement Science & Enabling Technologies, Energy, Health & Well-Being)

I am also 1st year advisor of studies for the Computer and Electronic Systems degree at Strathclyde.

Expertise
