Biography

Dean of Engineering

Professor (Electrical, Computer, and Software Engineering)

 

Research | Current

Gerard's research interests lie in the areas of radio systems, electromagnetics, bioelectromagnetics,  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 identifying and correcting student conceptual misunderstandings and in curriculum and course design.
