Professor Asoke Nandi
Professor - Electronic & Computer Engineering

Summary

In April 2013, Professor Nandi moved to Brunel University London to become the Head of Electronic and Computer Engineering from the University of Liverpool where he held the David Jardine Chair of Signal Processing in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics. At Liverpool he was the Head of the Signal Processing and Communications Research Group which he established in 1999. Professor Nandi received his PhD from the University of Cambridge. Subsequently, he held positions in Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, CERN, Queen Mary University of London, the University of Oxford, Imperial College London, University of Strathclyde, and the University of Liverpool.

Professor Nandi has published over 250 papers in refereed international journals (total: 600 technical papers) with an h-index of 80 (all citation figures are from Google Scholar) and the ERDOS number of 2. He co-discovered the three particles known as W+, W-, and Z0 - three of the four quanta of the electroweak force. This discovery verified the unification of the electromagnetic force and the nuclear weak force. In its recognition the 1984 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to his two leaders for their decisive role in this project. He has made pioneering theoretical and applied contributions to statistical signal processing, wireless communications, machine learning, and biomedical signal processing, image processing, genomic signal processing, brain signal processing, and Big Data.

Professor Nandi is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering as well as seven other institutions. He was an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer (EMBS, 2018-2019)
