Personal profile

Overview

I joined LSBU in 2010, where I am Professor of Telecommunications in the School of Engineering and founding head of the University’s Centre for Bioengineering Research. Prior LSBU I was with the King’s College London 2002-2010, Sony Computer Science Laboratories 2000-2002 and Yokohama National University 1998-2000. My current research interests focus on ultra-wideband (UWB) tools for cancer detection and establishment of a proof of concept for UWB medical imaging and image reconstruction. Our developed UWB platforms such as the microwave chamber and MammoWave apparatus are used for testing and monitoring in different medical applications.

Research Interests

I am currently the Director of the Centre for Bioengineering Research at the School of Engineering, London South Bank University (LSBU) where I am also the PI for two Marie Curie EU grants related to UWB radar (H2020-MSCA-IF 793449, £180k, “WEBOING”, 2018-2020 and H2020-MSCA-RISE 872752, £150K, “ROVER”, 2020-2024). Previously, I was the PI for an EPSRC grant associated with UWB sensors (EP/K002473/1, £911k, “DANCER”, 2012-2017).
Prior LSBU I was with the King’s College London from 2002 to 2010 where I secured several research grants including EPSRC (GR/T21771/01, £300k, UWB Channel Modelling) and NHS (MHF9401, £114k, Wireless Monitoring of Physiological Signals). I am the author of the books “Ultra-Wideband Signals and Systems”, and “Adaptive Array Systems”, both by Wiley, and have published over 180 technical papers in international journals and conferences on areas related to UWB and medical applications. I hold three US patents and have received two invention awards from Sony. I have been the guest editor of various MDPI, IET and IEICE Journals related to UWB systems. In my previous funded EPSRC grants I developed UWB tools for breast and skin cancer detection and established a proof of concept for UWB medical imaging and image reconstruction.
My ongoing collaboration with Industrial partners at LSBU Centre for Bioengineering Research includes the development and implementation of smart card antennas (Reward Technology; PhD match funding) and microwave cancer detection and bone fracture imaging and recovering monitoring (UBT Tech; funded post doc researcher and two match funded PhD scholarships).
