معرفی
Professor Iestyn Pierce is a faculty member at Bangor University's School of Computer Science and Engineering, specializing in electronic engineering. His academic qualifications include a PhD in Wavelet Theory of Optical Pulse Propagation (1998) and an MEng in Electronic Engineering from the University College of North Wales (1994). He holds Chartered Physicist status from the Institute of Physics.
His research encompasses numerical modeling of engineering systems, with current focus areas including:
- Design and implementation of distributed wireless sensor networks for environmental monitoring
- LoRaWAN deployments in remote ecosystems
- Hardware-in-the-loop simulation for low-carbon energy control systems
- Optical communications and nuclear power systems cybersecurity
Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on optical communications (OFDM systems, laser dynamics), control systems (battery monitoring, grid management), and interdisciplinary applications (marine robotics, nuclear cybersecurity). Recent work shows increased emphasis on environmental monitoring technologies and industrial control security.
Professor Pierce leads significant initiatives including the EU-funded SEEC nuclear power project (£4.6m) and the Global Wales Mekong Delta monitoring collaboration. He co-supervises international engineering student projects with institutions in Mexico, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, focusing on sustainable solutions.
He chairs the Engineering Centre for North and Mid Wales, delivering engineering outreach programs, and co-chairs the Science panel for the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol, promoting Welsh-medium education. His team projects often explore sustainable product development through cross-border academic collaboration.
