I like to engage in interdisciplinary research. With a keen interest in the future of communications and networking, I am engaged in research on future wireless networks specifically in radio frequency energy harvesting based relaying, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access, and air borne communication in my doctoral studies. Along with the discipline engineering, I am also involved in research on teaching and learning to identify key themes and issues arising from higher education academics especially in engineering disciplines in order to best understand the sector’s needs from a discipline perspective, and to determine how best to work with professional and learned bodies to meet those needs.
