Electronic Subsystems for Wireless Communications & Medical Imaging
Speaker: Dr Amin Abbosh, ITEE
When: 2008-06-12 10:00:00
Venue: 78-622
Host: p.sutton@itee.uq.edu.au
Abstract:The seminar will include highlights from my research activities during the
last ten years. In the first part of the seminar, snapshots from the
electronic S-band subsystems designed and built for the wireless
communication systems and an airborne X-band transceiver will be explained.
The airborne system is used for remote sensing applications, such as ground
mapping. In the second part of the seminar, a MIMO system used for athletes
monitoring will be presented. That system is used to send the information
about the different activities of the athlete's body to the medical and
coaching team for online monitoring of the athlete's performance. This
system helps coaches, researchers, conditioning specialists, and sports
medicine professionals get online information about fatigue, mood states,
athlete's well-being, track injuries... etc. In the third part of the
seminar, details of the transceiver designed at ITEE-UQ for the high
capacity dual-band MIMO systems will be explained. An outline of the medical
imaging system being built at ITEE-UQ for breast cancer detection using the
ultra wideband technology will be shown. Performance of the designed and
manufactured parts of the system will be presented. The challenges ahead in
this project will be addressed.
Biography:Amin M Abbosh has BSc, MSc & PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering. He
worked as a consultant & design engineer with several international
companies in Japan & France on the design of electronic sub-systems for
wireless communication and ground mapping. He was a senior lecturer &
head of Information Engineering department at Mosul University- Iraq
till 2004. In 2004, he acquired an endeavour research fellowship and
joined School of Microelectronics Engineering- Griffith University. In
2005, he joined School of ITEE- The University of Queensland as a
postdoctoral research fellow after acquiring the UQ fellowship. He is
now working on designing RF transceivers for MIMO systems and building a
medical imaging system for breast cancer detection using Ultra Wideband
technology. Dr. Abbosh has more than 120 peer-reviewed papers published
in International journals and conferences as well as three book
chapters.
