As a practical person my interests are on the applied side of engineering – how can we use technology to solve the problems that society faces. I am a passionate advocate for all forms of renewable energy. My practical research interests are in the fields of applied photovoltaics, embedded microelectronics and wireless sensor networks, and I am particularly interested in the use of organic photovoltaics for solar energy harvesting. As a data analyst / computer programmer I am interested in the use of modern data analysis and visualisation techniques when applied to large datasets, especially those coming from the ever growing number of IoT sensors.

Offshore Renewable Energy
I currently work on the Imardis project and our aim is to bring together diverse ocean science datasets and make them available to various research and commercial partners within the offshore renewable and ocean sciences community through our map-based portal (https://portal.imardis.org/). Our intention is to add value to this data by combining the datasets together and using modern data anlysis and visualisation techniques (e.g. AI, ML, augmented reality, digital twins etc).
Internet of Things (IoT)
Having spent several years designing and building low power wireless sensors for various partners across the spectrum, from agri-tech to social housing, I have a lot of experience in this area, especially in the field of LoRaWAN communications technology. My interest now is in developing solutions for managing this large volume of data, so that it can be used effectively. We are also looking at developing machine learning techniques to make use of the large amounts of data that IoT devices generate. I am always looking for new sources of data that we can manage and analyse and would welcome approaches by any interested parties.
Data Forecasting
We are working on various data science applications, especially in the area of data forecasting; using past data to predict future performance. As the amount of data created by IoT devices increases it becomes harder to make full use of it and this is where data forecasting using artificial neural networks comes into its own. We are always looking for more opportunities to utilise these techniques.

- Cutting-edge photonics research at Bangor University
At Bangor University's school of computer science and electronic engineering (SEECS), cutting-edge research is being pursued in fields of photonics and optoelectronics, including optical super-resolution imaging, sensing, solar energy, laser manufacturing, nano laser, micro robots, 5G communication and IoT.
For example, the school is the birth places of the widely publicised 'spider silk superlens' technology, which uses spider silks found in nature as superlens to increase the imaging resolution of optical microscopes by 2-4 times.
The school is actively engaged in developing new applications of edge computing deployed in North Wales and enhancing the reliability of solar cells, and electronic sensors in the industry.
In this webinar, Drs. James Wang, Noel Bristow and Jeff Kettle from the school will present:
• Laser-based Micro/nano-manufacturing for industry (engraving, colour marking, texturing, cleaning, security labelling) - James
• Optical superlens and nanoscope and their applications – James
• New applications of IoT and edge computing deployed in North Wales (Noel)
• Enhancing the reliability of photonic and electronic products (Jeff)
Join with us to explore the cutting-edge photonics research at Bangor University school of computer science and electronic engineering. Meet our team to discuss photonics solutions for your business.
