Personal profile
Biography
Dr Adnan Elahi is a lecturer in Medical Electronics and Co-director of the Translational Medical Device Lab at the University of Galway. He holds a PhD in Electronic Engineering and M.Sc. in Data Analytics from the University of Galway, an M.Sc. in Embedded Digital Systems from the University of Sussex, United Kingdom and a BS in Computer Engineering from COMSATS University, Pakistan. His PhD research was focused on the investigation and development of novel signal processing algorithms to improve microwave imaging of the breast. His current research spans the disciplines of engineering and medicine, with a particular focus on smart devicesbiosensors for remote patient monitoring; novel and personalised therapeutics using RFMicrowave and Pulsed-Field Ablation; and AImachine learning for biomedical signals.He has previously worked as a lecturer (2007-2012) at COMSATS University, Pakistan; and as a Research Associate at Computer Vision Research Group (COMVIS), Lahore, Pakistan.
Research Interests
Medical Devices Wireless Implantable Sensors Impedance Sensing Dielectric Spectroscopy Microwave Imaging RFMicrowave and Pulsed-Field Ablation Biomedical Signal Processing, and AIML for Biosignals.
Teaching Interests
My teaching interests lie at the intersection of electronics, computing and healthcare technologies. I am passionate about teaching both fundamental and advanced concepts of electronic systems, with a particular emphasis on their applications in medical devices and connected health systems. My current modules cover areas such as Internet of Things (IoT), analog electronics, embedded computing, smart devices, and RF technbologies for medical applications. These teaching interests closely align with my research focus on biosensors for remote patient monitoring, novel therapeutics using RFMicrowave and Pulsed-Field Ablation, and the integration of AImachine learning in biomedical signal processing.
