ShahedurPresently I have been working as a Senior Lecturer in the School of Science and Technology. I completed my PhD research in Image Processing System Architecture from King’s College London. I also completed PGCHE from Middlesex University. My MSc was in Digital Systems and BSc (Hons) was in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Research Interests and Activities

My current research interests are in the following areas: image processing applications, image retrieval in medical applications, speech and audio processing for hard of hearing people, use of alternative technology and renewable energy in developing countries, and ageing (elderly technology) and mobility issues in built environment.

Other research activities currently involve applications in the following areas: interference management in Femto-Macro LTE Cellular Network, perceptual video coding using Structural Similarity, image processing techniques to enhance and identify indoor images for navigation purpose in a built environment, diabetic retinopathy related problems, speech and audio processing applications, and efficient sign language communication over mobile phones.
