Projects

I am currently doing research in implanted devices. It is unlikely that our Ethics officers will allow me to put prototype antennas on human beings. Therefore, I do my research on meat. Here is a photo of my meat experiment.

I used beef and pork samples for these "mysterious" electromagnetic experiments at Electrical Engineering labs. The question that has been always asked is whether the meat is still edible. Well, that seems to be a trivial question from a postgraduate student mocking around, but it is a very important question to me. What would be the consequences of long term low level exposure of live tissue to microwave? Can we learn that with dead samples? It's not simple!!!

 

Antennas for Biomedical Applications

Early Career Reasearch Grant

This project focuses on developing small UWB based radio modules for biomedical applications. The delivery of high data rate images and control signals between an implanted device and an external console is facilitated by low-profile, efficient UWB singular and array antennas.

Ultra-Wideband antennas, PhD project

In this project a few antennas for Ultra-wideband applications have been developed. I was responsible of designing, formulating theoretical concepts and then fabricating prototype antennas. Those antennas were measured at the microwave facilities of Macquarie university and the CSIRO ICT center in Marsfield.

Parallel processing cluster, Final year undergraduate project

A cluster of personal computers has been developed to carry out resource intensive computing processes. 70% improvement in speed has been demonstrated in a ray tracing program compared to a single computer usage.

 

ABU ROBOCON 2002

Design of computer controlled automated robot to compete in the robotics competition organized by Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union. The event took place in Tokyo, Japan.

 

Optical titration detector, 3rd year undergraduate project

Optical electronics device that has been intended to detect color changing of indicators in chemical titration process.
