Chair of Integrated Electronic Systems in the School of Engineering, UoE
Principal Investigator at the System Level Integration Research Group at UoE

Professor Tughrul Arslan holds the Chair of Integrated Electronic Systems in the School of Engineering, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, U.K.. He is a member of the Integrated Micro and Nano Systems (IMNS) Institute and leads the System Level Integration (SLI) Group in the University. His current research focuses on enhancing personal mobility and the design of high performance embedded wireless systems. He has supervised over 30 successful Ph.D. thesis and the author of more than over 600 articles and is the inventor of a number of patents in these areas (in order to view a list of his publications in these areas click here.

He has lead a number of successful projects in the design of low-power embedded wireless systems. These have resulted in new patented technologies such as the Reconfigurable Instruction Cell Architecture (RICA), highly directional low power MEMS-based antenna systems, and embedded algorithms for exploitation of wireless signals for personal navigation indoors and areas of poor GPS signal visibility. Most of these technologies have been licensed to spin-out companies. He is currently the engineering co-lead for new technologies of care in the advanced care research center.

Professor Arslan was an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I and IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II. He is a member of the IEEE CAS Committee on VLSI Systems and Applications and is involved in the organisation of numerous conferences (please see a selected recent few below). Recently he was the general chair for the IEEE NASA/ESA conference on Adaptive Hardware and Systems (AHS) and the ECSIS Bio-inspired, Learning, and Intelligent Systems for Security Symposium (BLISS). He has been invited as a keynote speaker to a number of international conferences.

Professor Arslan is/was a principal investigator on a number of projects funded by EPSRC, DTI, Scottish Enterprise together with a number of industrial and academic partners. To view these projects click here
