Characterising blood oxygenation changes in functional human brain imaging
This project aims to characterise and image the human vasculature in vivo that underlies functional brain mapping techniques, which can blur and mask the accurate mapping of human cognition. Expected outcomes include a detailed map of the blood vessel anatomy of the living human brain, and vascular models of functional brain signals in space and time.

Shared-volume antennas
Investigate novel design techniques for antennas sharing a single volume, either in multi-port 3D configurations or as planar shared apertures. Various decoupling or controlled coupling methods will be considered for implementation as single-element or in arrays. The project aims at future communications systems.
