Personal profile
Personal Statement
I am a Professor in Radar Systems and Signal Processing at the University of Strathclyde. My research is focussed on RF sensor signal processing for defence and civilian applications. I am currently involved in projects collaborating with governmental institutions, industries and universities from the USA, China and Europe.
My research portfolio include Automatic Target Recognition, Multi-static, MIMO , Passive and Cognitive radars, Synthetic Aperture Radar, Electronic Surveillance, Earth Observation, machine learning, AI, and all the techniques that can be classified as emerging radar techniques. Furthermore I am interested in transferring the solutions developed in the defence and security scenarios to other fields such as industrial condition monitoring and biomedical signal processing.
