Research Leadership Award

The Leverhulme Trust Research Leadership scheme is a prestigious award worth £1M ($1.4M). The success in securing this grant marks the first time that an academic from Northern Ireland was bestowed this award. In this project, we will develop world's first real-time compressive millimetre-wave radar technology for security-screening. This project has received significant attention from the media in the UK and abroad - some of my interviews can be seen below:
