Dr Sahar Alimohammadi

Overview

I am a Research Associate working across the Magnetics and Magnetic Materials Group and the Medical Engineering Group, with research interests spanning medical device development, sensing technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and electrical engineering. My current research focuses on the development of a novel hand rehabilitation device designed to support grip and pinch force assessment, rehabilitation exercises, real-time feedback, and digital progress monitoring for both clinical and home-based applications.

Alongside my work in medical engineering, I conducted research on improving metal detector sensitivity using AI in collaboration with Eriez Magnetics Europe company. This work combines electromagnetic sensing, signal analysis, data processing, and AI techniques to enhance detection performance and reliability.

I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering, with expertise in finite element modelling, PCB design, programming, sensor development, data acquisition, and data analytics. My wider research experience includes the design and characterisation of nanowires, development of high-sensitivity sensors, magnetic and electrical measurements, and the design of advanced experimental systems.

My research brings together electrical and electronic engineering, sensing and measurement, AI, data analysis, and medical engineering to develop innovative solutions for healthcare and industrial applications.
