Post-Doctoral Fellows

Dr. Geoff Knagge

Geoff's research primarily focuses on the development and optimisation of algorithms for implementation in VLSI devices, including ASICs and FPGAs. His current work is with the Model-Predictive Control project, and extending his postgraduate work that dealt with combinatorial optimisation in VLSI, with application to the wireless communications topics of multiuser detection and MIMO. Part of this has involved the development of the c4Hardware and c4HDL projects to assist in the modelling of hardware designs.

Geoff is currently working in an industry position as a software/DSP engineer, for a company specialising in sonar technologies. Current fields of application include modelling, implementation, and optimisation, of algorithms for acoustic and audio signal processing.
