Prof David Simpson BSc, PhD, MIPEM
Professor of Biomedical Signal Processing
Prof David Simpson is Professor of Biomedical Signal Processing within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.
The Biomedical engineering provides a stimulating mix of 'hard' science and engineering with the excitement of understanding biology better and the motivation to help patients.
His research and teaching focus on the application of engineering techniques (primarily those for data analysis using computing methods) in a medical context.
After schooling in Austria, he graduated in Biomedical Electronics from the University of Salford (1981) and then worked as a mathematics and physics teacher in Nigeria. He obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, University of London in 1988. From 1989 to 1998 he lectured in the Biomedical Engineering Program at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), before becoming a research fellow in the Medical Physics Department of Leicester Royal Infirmary. He moved to the University of Southampton (ISVR) in 2001.
