• over 200 refereed journal and conference publications • 1 patents • 10 Chapters • 9 book Chapters • 20 Keynote speeches in national and international conferences and workshops • General chair of the IEEE technical sponsored conference series of Development of E System Engineering • Editor in Elsevier Neural Networks journal and MPDI Sensors journal • 22 successfully supervised PhD
I believe that respect is the way forward for both students and lectures. Research Embedded teaching will allow the students to learn the latest research and when Engineering programmes are linked with industry they will provide sharp engineers with the WoW (word of work) factor .
