Biography

Mahdi Saleh, Ph.D., graduated with a doctorate in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, in 2021. His doctoral research led to the development of a novel measurement system employing capacitive sensor arrays, which accurately measures the thickness of oil films on water surfaces in open water environments and resulted in a US patent.

Following his doctoral studies, from January 2021 to April 2022, Dr. Saleh worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Lincoln, U.K., where he contributed to advancing the development of long-range IoT-enabled Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) tailored for agricultural monitoring applications.

Since May 2022, Dr. Saleh has been contributing his expertise as a Research Associate within the Non-Invasive Bioelectronic Systems group at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Manchester, U.K. In recognition of his work, he received the prestigious "Best Outstanding Contribution to Research Impact" award from the Faculty of Science and Engineering at The University of Manchester in 2023. Moreover, he has been acknowledged through various awards, including the First Place Award in the BLF-IFI Climate Change Competition from AUB’s Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs in 2018, as well as the CNRS-L/AUB Ph.D. Scholarship Award from the National Council for Scientific Research-Lebanon and AUB in 2016.

Dr. Saleh also holds the position of Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement (TIM) journal and serves as a reviewer for numerous journals and conferences specializing in sensors and embedded systems. His outstanding contributions to peer review were recognized with the title of Outstanding Reviewer for IEEE TIM in 2020, 2021, and 2023.
