Sam Amiri

Sam Amiri is a Lecturer in Microelectronics / Embedded Electronics at Loughborough University. He holds a BSc in Software Engineering (2007, Iran), M.Sc. in Embedded Systems (2010, Masaryk University), and Ph.D. in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (2014, Masaryk University). Prior to his current role, he worked as a Researcher at Queen’s University Belfast (2015-2017) and the University of Bristol (2017-2018). His research focuses on hardware design, embedded systems, signal/image processing, and FPGA-based solutions for real-time systems.

Key research areas include intrusion detection systems for vehicular networks using binarized neural networks, RISC-V processor optimization for neural networks, and FPGA-based acceleration of CNN models. His work also explores reliability engineering in wind turbine drivetrains and heterogeneous computing architectures combining FPGAs with CPUs.

Publications span topics like embedded cybersecurity, low-power edge computing, and hardware-software co-design for real-time applications. His recent work emphasizes lightweight neural networks on constrained hardware and fault tolerance in aerospace systems. No specific awards or grants are listed in the provided information.
