Ahmet Omurtag is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Engineering at Nottingham Trent University's School of Science & Technology. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Columbia University and postdoctoral training in computational neuroscience. His research focuses on multimodal neuroimaging techniques (EEG and fNIRS) to study human performance, neurovascular coupling, and skill assessment in surgical contexts. He leads the Human Factors and Performance research group and oversees the Biomedical Engineering course.
Dr. Omurtag's career includes roles at Bio-Signal Group (biomedical device development) and the University of Houston. He is a Chartered Scientist and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. His work bridges academia and industry, with collaborations in neuroimaging applications for smart manufacturing and surgical training. He serves as an Associate Editor for a bioengineering journal and reviews grants for national funding bodies.
Key research themes include: (1) EEG-fNIRS fusion for cognitive workload monitoring, (2) neurophysiological markers of skill acquisition in surgery, and (3) non-invasive diagnostic tools for Alzheimer's and neurological disorders. His >45 publications span neuroergonomics, medical device innovation, and emergency EEG interpretation.
