My Qualifications
Dr Argha received his BSc and MSc in Electrical Engineering from Shiraz University, Iran, and his PhD from University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia (2017).
My Awards
Reza’s PhD thesis was included in the Chancellor’s list for 2017 Chancellor’s award for best PhD thesis, which acknowledges his doctoral thesis judged to be of the highest calibre among all the University of Technology Sydney’s theses. He was also twice awarded the UTS FEIT Higher Degree Research Publication Award (2014 and 2015) based on a competitive application related to research capacity and a UTS Faculty of Engineering Research Excellence Award. In 2013 and 2014, during his PhD, he was awarded student travel awards by the conference organisers to attend the IEEE Australian Control Conference (Perth, 2013) and IEEE Annual Conference on Decision and Control (LA, USA, 2014). He also received an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) Scholarship in 2013, and during his PhD, he received a flagship top-up scholarship from the CSIRO to build an automated exercise testing system by designing a novel control mechanism for cycle-ergometers.
My Research Activities
- Development of data-driven algorithms for fall detection and prediction using infrared sensors and mmWave radar
- Development of deep-Learning based algorithms for non-invasive blood pressure estimation
- Development of deep-Learning based algorithms for arrhythmia detection through single-lead short-term ECG waveforms
- Clinical decision support systems for telehealth systems
- Human-in-the-Loop control systems
- Smart home IT support for frail elderly people with early dementia who live alone
