Teaching Interests

My teaching interests lie at the intersection of electronics, computing and healthcare technologies. I am passionate about teaching both fundamental and advanced concepts of electronic systems, with a particular emphasis on their applications in medical devices and connected health systems. My current modules cover areas such as Internet of Things (IoT), analog electronics, embedded computing, smart devices, and RF technbologies for medical applications. These teaching interests closely align with my research focus on biosensors for remote patient monitoring, novel therapeutics using RF/Microwave and Pulsed-Field Ablation, and the integration of AI/machine learning in biomedical signal processing.
