Muhammad Farooq is a Research Associate in the Communication, Sensing, and Imaging (CSI) group at the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow. He holds a PhD in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from the same institution. His work focuses on non-invasive, contactless health monitoring technologies, including radar-based cardiopulmonary sensing, human activity recognition, and optical systems for glucose and vital sign detection.

He holds a master’s in electrical engineering from LUMS, Pakistan, and has contributed to healthcare innovation as a Research Associate and Project Lead. His experience spans both academic research and industrial roles, including process automation with Endress+Hauser. Farooq is also the inventor on a UK patent for optical glucose monitoring device and is developing scalable HealthTech solutions for future smart healthcare systems.

I am a researcher and engineer specialist in AI-driven healthcare technologies, contactless sensing, and intelligent healthcare systems. My expertise covers human activity detection (human gait, autism/ADHD behaviour, sleep, fall detection, and person recognition), vital sign monitoring (cardiovascular health, heart sounds, blood pressure, respiration, and non-invasive glucose) and EEG based brain signals. I work with radar, USRP, radio signals, RFID, and optical sensors to build intelligent healthcare solutions.

Currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Glasgow, I have experience in end to end systems development, robotics, electronics, microcontrollers, 3D design, PCB design, instrumentation and industrial process automation. I have contributed to award-winning research projects, a patent in blood glucose sensing, and international projects funded by EPSRC, UKRI, GCRF, and AGU. My aim is to create accessible, intelligent, and contactless systems that transform healthcare and improve patient well-being.
