MrFarzad Tofigh

Dr Farzad Tofigh is Telecommunications/Electronics engineer with extensive experience of collaborative research and work at local and international level. He has significant experience of High-Frequency systems, wireless communication, and embedded system designs. He possesses strong knowledge of mathematical modelling, signal processing and data analysis of transactional (explicit) & sensory (implicit) data for various applications such as crowdsensing & resource allocation in wireless/cellular networks.
He is an early career researcher and completed his PhD in 2019 (UTS, Australia). His thesis investigated non-intrusive methods of crowd density estimation using distributed sensor networks (IoT) and an innovative solution based on electromagnetic energy monitoring using metamaterial perfect absorbers.
As an industry postdoctoral researcher, Farzad has led the design of a Low-power IoT hub with multiple radio technologies and satellite communication support for remote fuel tanks monitoring in cooperation with industry partner. The designed units are deployed for test and evaluation in Canada. Farzad also collaborate with the centre of acoustics and vibration to integrate video processing analysis with micro-vibration signals to understand and detect presence and walk of insects.
