He is also the Programme Leader of Computer Systems Engineering, a Chartered Engineer (CEng) of the IET, Chartered Manager (CMgr) of CMI and a Fellow of Higher Education Academy (UK). Michael represents the research community of UoN at the University Senate. He is the Science and Technology Postgraduate Research (PGR) Lead for the Faculty of Arts Science and Technology and a Chair of the University’s PGR Supervisory Forum. In 2018/19 he was the Elected Senate representative for academic staff from the Faculty of Arts, Science and Technology (FAST) at the University of Northampton.
He has a PhD in Embedded and Distributed Systems (Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering) from Glasgow Caledonian University, UK, in and the MSc. degree in Embedded and Distributed Systems from London South Bank University, UK. Michael received the BSc. (Hons.) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana. Michael holds four teaching qualifications: Master of Arts (MA) in Education, Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP), Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Digital Leadership and Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Research Degree Supervision from the University of Northampton. Furthermore, he is the holder of two management qualifications: Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) from UoN and Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Strategic Management & Leadership from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).
Michael has over 10 years of experience in Embedded Systems Design. Previously, he was with Intel Embedded System Research group of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) as a Research Fellow, where he worked on reliable wireless Network-on-Chip (NoC) and other innovative multicore System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions. He is the author of over 80 peer reviewed publications: 5 Books, 2 Book Chapters, over 16 Journals, 32 Conference Papers. Michael has won 2 best papers and 1 best paper in poster session at reputable international conference. Michael’s research interest spans across 3 main strands and disciplines: 1. Electronics and Computer Engineering; 2. Business and Management (Neuromarketing, advertising and marketing research) and 3. Pedagogy (Education Research). His areas of interest include: Electronics and Computer Engineering: High Performance Computing; Embedded Systems; Internet of Things (IoT); Smart Farming (with focus on vertical farming); Smart Grid and Smart Metering; VLSI; on-chip networking; System-on-Chip; Computer Architecture; multicore and manycore systems; 3D integrated circuits (3D IC); FPGA design; Wireless Networks-on-Chip. Pedagogy (Education Research): Student engagement; problem- and project-based learning; active distance learning; technology enhanced learning; teaching multidisciplinary groups of students; decolonising learning, teaching and assessment; experiences of ethnic minorities in education; Equality Diversity and Inclusion in (Higher) Education, BAME award and education gap. Business and Management (Strategic Marketing): Neuromarketing; Eye-tracking and the brain’s buy button; use of EEG and other embedded sensors for strategic marketing; Virtual Reality (VR); digital advertisement and marketing research.
He has been a Guest Editor of the EAI Endorsed Transactions on Industrial Networks and Intelligent Systems. He is a technical committee member of over 10 conferences such as IEEE ICCSN, IEEE ICBDA and IEEE ICCT. He is also a reviewer of several conferences and journals including IEEE TVLSI and TCAD.
