Professor Qammer H Abbasi he/him

My research passion lies at the intersection of applied electromagnetics, sensing technologies, and integrated communication systems. I focus on shaping future wireless networks, such as 6G, through innovations like Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) and wearable health monitoring devices. My group develops advanced technologies that bridge communication and healthcare, integrating nanoscale devices and AI-driven sensors for real-time health monitoring.

We aim to collaborate with experts in biomedical engineering, AI, quantum technologies, and smart materials to create holistic solutions that address societal challenges. My group’s work is highly interdisciplinary, and I envision future CDT projects focusing on smart environments for health monitoring, body-centric communications, and advanced telecommunication systems. I’m particularly interested in collaborations that integrate healthcare, AI, and electromagnetic systems.

I would like to supervise interdisciplinary projects that blend telecommunication, healthcare, and AI, focusing on wearable sensors, nanoscale devices, and smart environments for continuous health monitoring. I envision my role as a hands-on, supportive supervisor who fosters creative thinking and encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration. My approach is to mentor students in both the technical and human aspects of research, helping them grow into well-rounded professionals. My graduated students now work in academia, industry, and start-ups, contributing to fields like biomedical engineering, communications, and sensor technologies.

I am deeply committed to promoting EDI in all aspects of my research and mentorship. I actively work to create an inclusive environment where individuals from diverse backgrounds can thrive. Throughout my career, I have led and participated in initiatives to support underrepresented groups in STEM, and I believe that diversity drives innovation. I am proud to have created opportunities for diverse teams, ensuring equal access to resources and fostering a culture of mutual respect.

On a personal level, I’m driven by a desire to make a real-world impact through research. Outside the lab, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring creative projects with my children, who are my constant source of inspiration. I believe that curiosity and a passion for learning are at the heart of both scientific discovery and personal growth.
