Education DeMontfort University United Kingdom

PhD in Mechatronics Engineering .

The PhD thesis title is "Component-based Mixed Reality Environment

for the Control and Design of Servo-pneumatic System". The

research is aimed at developing a mixed reality environment for the

control and design of servo-pneumatic systems. Working with mixed

reality environment would include both the capability to model the

system entirely as a simulation, the so-called off-line, as well as being

able to use real components running against simulation of others on-

line, or in a Mixed Reality (MR) manner. Component-based paradigm

has been adopted, and hence the entire pneumatic system is viewed as

a series of component modules with standardised linking variables. The

mathematical model of each individual component has been

implemented in simulation software which produces time domain

responses in order to allow for mixing the simulation with the real

system.

Final Project: Security System Based on Fingerprint ID for Mobile

Phone In this project, a new security system is introduced for mobile

phone based on fingerprint ID which is impossible to be forgotten or

stolen. This security system will prevent anybody-except the phone

owner- not only to access the phone but also to unlock the phone s keys

if it is already accessed. Furthermore, this system has the capability to

recognize more than one fingerprint which allows more than one

authorized user to access the phone, and at the same time it allows the

user to access the phone in the case of thumb injuring or cutting, which

makes the system more flexible.

This project has been accepted in the HOUSE OF COMMONS 2003

competition as one of the best 120 projects in UK, in this competition

posters have been presented at House of Commons, London by

Britain s top younger scientists, engineers and technologists from

university, industrial and public sector laboratories. For more details

Final Project: ECG System Based on Mobile Phone for Heart

Patients The idea of the project is to design and implement an ECG

device which detects the ECG signal of the heart and response

accordingly. What makes this system distinct from the other systems

is its capability to contact the hospital or the local infirmary through

the personal mobile phone of the patient in the case of any heart

attack. Therefore the heart patients can feel free to move wherever

they want without any marvel. A prototype of the device was built

successfully and it gave a very good results.
