Personal profile
Personal Statement
I am a Research Associate in the Stratchclyde Software Defined Radio (StrathSDR) laboratory at the University of Strathclyde. My research is focused on efficient utilisation of the radio spectrum - the radio waves that make wireless communication possible.
I am currently leading research in the spectrum sensing workstream of the £12m next-generation telecommunications research project called Towards Ubiquitous 3-Dimensional Open Resilient Network (TUDOR) led by University of Surrey's 5G/6G Innovation Centre.
I am also a Teaching Assistant on an undergraduate course - Digital Electronics - where I am involved in tutoring, lab demonstrations and assessing students. I am currently pursuing a postgraduate certificate in Learning and Teching in Higher Education.
In my previous life, I worked as a telecommunications officer with the United Nations in Malawi, where I was involved in managing telecommunications/IT infrastructure and technology-for-development projects. It was through this work experience that my interest in research on technologies for affordable wireless connectivity was ignited.
Academic / Professional qualifications
I received my PhD in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from University of Strathclyde in 2022. My PhD thesis was on modelling of heterogeneous wireless coexistence in shared spectrum using hypergraph theory. I also received my MSc (Eng) in Digital Communications Networks from University of Leeds BSc in 2015 and my BSc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Malawi in 2003.
