Dr Ian Williams

My research revolves around neural interfacing. In my work I have developed: a wireless implantable peripheral neural stimulation and recording system; a miniature FPGA headstage capable of neural recording, real-time spike sorting and long duration data logging; a new method of designing electrical neural stimulation waveforms; and am currently working on a miniature device capable of wirelessly monitoring all the body's vital signs (pulse, ECG, temperature, breathing, blood oxygen as well as EEG) that can be comfortably worn in your ear.

Dr Song Luan

My research interest is in miniature neural interfaces and its applications. This includes full custom integrated implantable/wearable microsystems for neural recording/stimulation and other physiological signals acquisition. This involve many aspects in the filed of electronics including ASIC design, low power analogue/digital circuit design, RF circuit design, embedded system and PCB design. My long term research is towards successful applications of such interface in healthcare.

Dr Min Xiang

I am a postdoc working on statistical signal processing of quaternion- and complex-valued data. I received a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Imperial College London in 2018 after obtaining M.Eng. and B.Eng. in Instrument Science and Technology from Beihang University, Beijing, China.

I’m pursuing my PhD degree in electrical engineering from Imperial College. My research interest is signal processing and pattern recognition for physiological data, such as electroencephalogram (EEG). I received the BEng. degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Bioscience, Waseda University, Japan, in 2014, and the MSc degree in communications and signal processing from Imperial College London, UK, in 2015.

Alexander Stott

I received an M.Eng degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Imperial College London, UK in 2014. Since 2014, I have been working towards a Ph.D at Imperial College London in the department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering under professors Danilo Mandic and Tom Pike. His research interests include latent variable regression and instrumentation analysis for space applications. I am currently a Research Assistant at Imperial College London, working on the analysis and operations of the NASA InSight mission short period seismometer.

Tricia Adjei

I received the M.Eng. degree in medical engineering from the University of Surrey, Guildford, U.K., in 2014. I have joined Prof. Mandic research team in 2015 and have been passionate about applying engineering principles to uncover preciously unseen physiological phenomena ever since.

3rd Year PhD Students

Ilya Kisil

I am currently pursuing PhD at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. In 2016, I received MRes in Advanced Computing from Imperial College London, UK, after obtaining a MSc in Intelligence Systems in Robotics and a BSc in Automation Control from ITMO University, Russia. My research focuses on analysis inherently N-dimensional arrays (tensors) with applications to biomedical and financial data. I have been the driving force behind HOTTBOX, a toolbox for tensor decompositions, visualisation, feature extraction and non-linear classification of multi-dimensional data.

Bruno Scalzo

I am currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, with a focus on statistical signal processing of nonstationary processes. I received the M.Eng. degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Imperial College London in 2016, which included an exchange semester at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In parallel, I am also pursuing my passion for understanding the statistical determinants of global macroeconomic events. My research interests include deterministic systems, ergodic theory and multilinear algebra.

Giuseppe Calvi

I obtained BSc degree in Telecommunication Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Turin in 2014 and an equivalent degree from the Tongji University of Shanghai in 2015. In 2016, I attained MSc degree in Communications and Signal Processing from Imperial College London, earning the Best Thesis Award. My research focuses on tensor decompositions for signal processing applications. In particular I study the integration of tensors and neural networks, support tensor machines for financial applications, and tensor networks and their taxonomy.
