Welcome to my Homepage

I am a Professor in the School of Engineering (SOEN), College of Engineering & Computing and Cybernetics (CECC), The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia.

My research area is Communications and Signal processing. I am also a Senior Member, IEEE, USA and a Senior Fellow of HEA, UK.

My research interests include:

  • Machine learning for Internet of Things applications
  • Drone (UAV) communications
  • Wireless power transfer and energy harvesting
  • Wireless sensor, device to device and machine to machine networks
  • Synchronization and channel estimation
  • Stochastic geometry
  • Distance distributions and connectivity
  • Signal processing for spherical and biomedical applications
