Mahdi Saleh

Mahdi Saleh is a Researcher at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Manchester, UK, and concurrently holds a Research Associate position at the University of Lincoln (from Sept 2024). He also serves as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement. His expertise spans instrumentation, embedded systems, and biosensors. Saleh earned his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the American University of Beirut (2021), with a thesis on capacitive sensor arrays for oil film measurement, leading to a US patent.

Education:

• Doctor of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering, American University of Beirut (2021)

Research Interests: Saleh focuses on developing embedded measurement systems for biosensors, wearable healthcare devices (e.g., EEG monitoring), and environmental IoT networks. His work addresses challenges in oil spill detection, signal processing, and sensor durability under harsh conditions. Recent efforts include low-power wearable EEG systems and AI-driven artifact removal techniques.

Publications Trends: His articles emphasize wearable biomedical devices (EEG monitoring), environmental sensors (oil under ice detection), and IoT-enabled agricultural systems. Methodologically, he combines capacitive sensing, machine learning, and edge computing.

Awards:

• Best Outstanding Contribution to Research Impact (2023, University of Manchester)
• CNRS-L/AUB Ph.D. Scholarship (2016)
• First Place in BLF-IFI Climate Change Competition (2018)
• Outstanding Reviewer for IEEE TIM (2020, 2021, 2023)

Advising & Grants: Though no formal advisees are listed, his postdoctoral and current roles imply active mentorship. He contributed to EU-funded projects on sensor networks and oil spill detection.

Labs/Teams: Member of the Non-Invasive Bioelectronic Systems group at Manchester, focusing on wearable medical devices and bioelectronic innovations.
