PREVIOUS APPOINTMENTS
July 1996-May 2004 Professor, University of Surrey
October 1990-June 1998 Lecturer and Reader, King's College London
June 1986-Sept. 1990 Research Assistant, King's College London.
Sept. 1984-June 1986 Plessey Research (Caswell)
TEACHING EXPERIENCE (King’s College, Universities of Surrey and Leeds)
I have taught a wide range of modules in the area of RF & Microwave Engineering and Circuit Design. At Leeds I have diversified dramatically through my involvement with the Product Design programme, and I have developed new modules such as Consumer Electronics (Level 1) and Product Design and Entrepreneurship (Level M). I have recently been supervising final year projects in the areas of The Intelligent Home and Consumer Electronics.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPERIENCE
I have held a variety of administrative roles over the years, the most notable being:-
Research Group Leader (Surrey) Director of Research (King’s College) Director of Learning and Teaching (Leeds)
In the last 4 years as DoLT I Introduced two UG and six PGT programmes of study. Three of these (EE & Renewable Energy Systems, Embedded Systems Engineering and Communications Engineering) have become our most popular courses.
I was one of the founding partners in the award-winning CEESI system-on-chip Masters programme (MTP, EPSRC, £980k).
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
I have developed a microwave and millimetre-wave circuit design activity which is well-known internationally. My research team has published over 380 research papers, including >100 refereed journal papers and letters, over 150 papers at major international conferences, and 100 publications at other conferences, colloquia and workshops. I have had research grants awarded as PI that total over £2M (many in collaboration with other universities, including Leeds, Kent, Imperial College, Belfast, Sheffield, Surrey and Glasgow). I have supervised 29 PhD students through to completion.
I have overseen the design of more than 250 different MMIC designs, both for SERC/EPSRC research projects and for industrial contracts. My main area of interest is in the design of RFICs & MMICs and their applications in communications, active phased-array antennas, remote sensing, and radar. In recent years my research has been steered towards CMOS RFIC design, system-in-package design and communications systems.
INDUSTRIAL COLLABORATION
My research has attracted industrial support over the years from the following companies:-
European Space Agency (ESTEC) British Aerospace COM-DEV Europe DRA/QinetiQ Nokia Mobile Phones Ericsson (Sweden) ERA Technology Matra-Marconi Space Asahi Chemical Co. (Japan) GEC Marconi Materials Technology Ltd RF Hitec Inc. (Korea) Filtronic Autotype ALPS Electric (UK) British Telecom Bookham (Caswell) WFI (USA) Woojin Semiconductor (Korea) Hibridas (Lithuania)
I was a Non-Executive Director of the Advanced Digital Institute (ADI), an independent research and development institute based in Airedale, supported by Yorkshire Forward. |
