Professor Amin Abbosh has been a UQ citizen since 2005. He is the leader of UQ’s 42-strong Electromagnetic Innovations (ƐMAGIN) team. He served the school of ITEE as Director of Research Training and then Director of Research for five years. Before that, he was an ARC Future Fellow at UQ working on Electromagnetic Medical Imaging.

During his service at UQ, he led more than 25 ARC, CRC-P, and Industry projects. Thus, his experience spans fundamental research to research translation in using electromagnetic techniques for medical imaging, microwave engineering and telecommunications. As recognition of Amin’s international standing in research, he was awarded with the high doctorate (Doctor of Engineering) from the University of Queensland in 2013. In 2016, Amin was awarded with UQ’s Excellence in RHD Supervision due to his significant contributions to the future of research by leading and mentoring the next generation of researchers.

Researcher biography

Prof. Amin Abbosh specializes in Medical Microwave Imaging and Microwave and Millimeter-wave Engineering. His work focuses on designing and developing advanced imaging and sensing systems using electromagnetic techniques at radio-wave frequencies.

Prof. Abbosh's significant contributions include the creation of innovative imaging systems that leverage his expertise in applied electromagnetics and microwave engineering. He has developed comprehensive analytical and computational frameworks, incorporating signal-processing techniques for detection and AI for classification. This approach has led to a new modality for detection and imaging, combining physics-guided and data-driven methods. His work is protected by over 16 patents.

In Communication Technologies, Prof. Abbosh's work focuses on designing flat-panel, low-cost reconfigurable antennas. These antennas form ground satellite terminals that communicate with low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites, providing reliable broadband access to remote and regional communities. This technology supports e-health services, distance education, and business productivity, and can be used in various on-the-move environments.
