Experience:
|
|
Dr. Sanei received his PhD from Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine, London, in Biomedical Signal and Image Processing in 1991. He has been a member of academic staff in Iran, Singapore, and United Kingdom. He has published a book entitled EEG Signal Processing, and over 190 papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings. His major interest is in biomedical signal and image processing and acoustic signal processing especially using adaptive and nonlinear signal processing, and pattern recognition and classification. He has been serving as an editor, member of technical committee, and a reviewer for a number of Journals and Conference Proceedings. He is involved in many collaborative research with medical centres in various aspects of biomedical engineering projects. He has had a major contribution to Electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis, blind source separation and sparse component analysis and compressive sensing, parallel factor analysis and tensor factorization, particle filtering, chaos & time series analysis, support vector machines, hidden Markov models and in brain computer interfacing (BCI).

Professional Activities and Recognition:
|
Dr Sanei is an expert in signal processing, biomedical signal processing, and pattern recognition and have growing international recognition within these communities.
His recent research contributions have been in the areas of compressive sensing, spatial filtering and beamforming, constrained blind source separation (BSS) in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) environments, Tensor factorization, constrained optimisation, non-linear prediction and analysis of dynamical changes using chaos theory, with application to both analysis of brain signals and gait recognition, brain-computer interfacing (BCI), and source localization and tracking.
He has published more than 190 journal and conference papers (including a number of invited papers).
He published a unique book (as a research monogram) entitled “EEG Signal Processing” with John Wiley Publisher.
He has served as the leader of the Biomedical Signal Processing Group, within the Centre of Digital Signal Processing, Cardiff.
He has been the organizer and Co-chair of IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (SSP2009) Aug-Sept 2009, Cardiff, the organizer of the 15th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing, DSP2007, July 2007, Cardiff, Special Sessions Chair of 16th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing, DSP2009, and co-organizer and finance chair of the IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Conference, SSP2001, Singapore.
He has served as the Guest Editor and Associate Editor of the Journal of Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience special issue in EEG Signal Processing, Associate Editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters, a Member of the Steering, Advisory, and Technical Committees, Int. Conference on Independent Component Analysis for many years. He is the UK EURASIP Liaison Officer, a memeber of UK Bioengineering Society Committee, and Program Chair of Biosignals 2010, Valencia, Spain. He has had more than 24 PhD and a number of MSc and MPhil by research students. The paper “Blind Separation of convolutive mixtures of cyclostationary signals”, co-authored by him in the IEEE Int. Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, pp. 172-188, Feb. 2004, has been chosen as 'one of the three hot papers' of the year, in the latest Wiley (IEEE worldwide) advert for publications in Signal Processing.
He has also had a number of best paper awards such as those in BCI Graz, Austria, 2006, and ICASSP 2009 in Taiwan.
