I joined the University of Glasgow in 2017 and I am currently a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Engineering Systems Design. I held previous industrial positions at Nortel Networks and IBM Research GmbH. I was a research scientist at EPFL's PV Lab, where I worked on the device modelling of thin film solar cells. I am currently a Senior Member of the IEEE, a Senior Fellow of RET and a Member of the IET. I am also the Regional Chair of IEEE's Education Society in Scotland and the Chair of the IET Pedagogy in Engineering and Technology TN. Further details can be found on my personal webpage.
My qualifications are the following:
- PhD, University of Cambridge.
- DIC and MSc, Imperial College London.
- BEng, King's College London.
I've been appointed by Coventry University as an External Examiner for their EEE programme with TKH. I am also an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Education and IEEE Access. I have served on the organising committee of several special sessions and conferences, including the UK-China Emerging Technologies conference, the 2020 IEEE Transnational Engineering Education using Technology (TREET) conference and and the 27th IEEE Conference on Electronic Circuits and Systems.
Research interests
I am interested in the application of novel photonic and sensing techniques for designing interactive technologies that enable people to perform tasks more efficiently and seamlessly with wearable computers. For example, I'm interested in designing microenergy harvesters that extend the battery life of wearable devices. I've also explored new sensing and signal processing technologies that enable wearables to intelligently classify hand gestures, or track subtle eye movements. User applications of these technologies are targeted towards improved education and healthcare. Below is a summary of my main and current research themes.
1) Energy Harvesting - how energy can be harnessed from the surroundings to power electronic devices. My specific interests involve developing novel solar (light) harvesting solutions for achieving truly wireless (and autonomous) electronic devices. Selected publications in this area include:
