Dr Patwary holds Readership in Wireless Communication Systems with Mobile Fusion Applied Research Centre (MF-ARC) at Staffordshire University, UK and senior member of IEEE. He is leading Wireless Communication Research Group within MF-ARC since 2008, which currently consists of 15 PhD students and 4 senior research fellows, along with 6 academic staffs. During the last 3-year period, the team has attracted significant amount of attention from the regional industries in West Midland (UK), especially in security and ICT based medical equipment manufacturing companies, as well as tele-healthcare service providers.
Having innovative signal/target/object estimation, detection and tracking techniques/algorithms as key research strength, my research interests includes Wireless Sensor Networks, Signal optimization in Smart Grid systems, Detection & Tracking algorithm in Wireless Receivers, Compressive Sampling/Sensing, Broad-band Power Line Communication, Multi-user Detection, Multi-sensor Reception, Blind and Semi-Blind Channel Estimation, Equalization, Iterative Signal Processing, Space-Time Signal Processing and MIMO-OFDM Techniques WCDMA implementations, WCDMA & LTE Hardware (Transceiver, Radio Network controller etc,). During the last 3 years, his team has attracted notable amount of research funding, majority of that is from regional industries and local government innovation support funds. Since 2008, Dr Patwary is actively involved with research within the area of sensing mainly focusing in to energy, health and security applications.
Dr Patwary is also the recipient of prestigious ‘Lord Stafford Award 2009’(from Stafford Borough Council); ‘The Best Paper award’, in International Conference on Personal Wireless Communication (PWC) 2002, Singapore; Student Travel Grant 2003 from IEEE international conference ‘Globecom’, San Francisco, USA; Australian Postgraduate Award, Supplemental Engineering Award from the University of New South Wales, Sydney Australia
