Ahmad Lotfi, BEng, MTech, PhD, Senior Member IEEE
I am a Senior Lecturer at School of Science and Technology, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, United Kingdom. My Contact details are available from contact page.
Profile
Recognised internationally for significant contribution to application of intelligent control and robotic systems using soft computing techniques.
Comprehensive background in the Supervision and Teaching of undergraduate and research students and the development of research programs in theory and application of control systems.
Strong communications and decision-making skills with a make-it-happen ability to organise, manage and motivate multidisciplinary teams at the technical and academic levels to meet targeted objectives.
Fellowship
I have been awarded special fellowships which will add further momentum to the drive to commercialise
the university’s research outputs. I was selected as Medici Fellow under a programme which improves awareness of - and support for - commercial development of research within ten Midlands universities.
Medici gives academics and researchers additional training in entrepreneurship. Outputs include consultancy work, patent applications, technology licences, spin-out companies and collaborative research.
I am working with colleagues to investigate the
commercial potential of their work in embedded computing for smart homes and
smart environments. There are many opportunities for translating this technology
into competitive-edge solutions for independent living and monitoring the
wellbeing of vulnerable people at home.
