Biography

Professor (Electrical and Computer Engineering)

Deputy Dean (Academic), Faculty of Engineering

Research | Current

Gerard's research interests lie in the areas of radio systems, electromagnetics, bioelectromagnetics, communications and engineering education.

Within the areas of radio systems and electromagnetics, his research is concentrated on developing improved techniques for prediction of mobile radio path loss, on multiple obstacle diffraction loss modelling, on improvements in physical layer modelling of mobile ad hoc networks and on weak signal detection including its application in cognitive radio systems.

His research interests in  the area of bioelectromagnetics are concerned with evaluation of aspects of the New Zealand Radio Frequency (RF) Safety Standard, with the interaction between weak (non-thermal) electromagnetic fields and biological tissue and in the therapeutic and diagnostic applications of electromagnetic fields.

His engineering education research is centred on identification of threshold concepts in electrical engineering, in the development of intelligent tutoring systems, the secondary-to-tertiary transition, the impact of peer-marking, improved academic performance for at-risk students, improved diagnostic instruments, identifying strategies for acquainting academic staff with better teaching pedagogies and investigation of student learning styles.
