Manuchehr Soleimani

Professor Manuchehr Soleimani is a Professor in the Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering at the University of Bath, leading the Engineering Tomography Lab (ETL) since 2011. He specializes in AI-driven tomographic imaging techniques, including Electrical/Electromagnetic Tomography, X-ray CT, and Ultrasound Tomography. His research focuses on medical imaging, industrial process monitoring, and robotic touch sensing. He collaborates with CERN on projects like the TIGRE open-source software platform and leads Bath's educational initiatives, including the MSc in AI for Engineering and Design and the Robotics Engineering undergraduate program.

His research interests span inverse problems, machine learning integration, and multi-modality tomography. Key applications include lung monitoring, industrial quality control, and medical diagnostics. Professor Soleimani has secured funding from Innovate UK, EPSRC, EU Horizon 2020, and industry partners. He serves on the Scientific Advisory Panel at the University of Cambridge and has supervised 31 doctoral/master’s students. His lab develops cutting-edge imaging systems, such as contactless EIT sensors and ultrasonic tomography for in-vivo imaging.

• Key Projects: AdvanCT (EU), TIGRE (CERN collaboration), and industrial tomography systems for steel casting and CO₂ capture.
• Publications: Over 378 peer-reviewed articles, with recent focus on AI-enhanced reconstruction algorithms and multi-frequency imaging.

Scientific contributions include pioneering work in capacitively coupled tomography and tactile sensing systems. His work aligns with UN SDGs through innovations in health and sustainable industry practices.
