Imaging, Data and Communications

Junqi is currently a PhD student in the University of Edinburgh and is supervised by Prof. Mike Davies. His research focuses on the design of efficient large-scale optimization algorithms via actively exploiting the solution’s intrinsic low-dimensional structure such as low-rank and sparsity, for machine learning and signal processing applications. His research is funded by EU H2020 project.

Before starting his research in large-scale optimization, he had 4 wonderful years in Sichuan University, China as a undergrad majoring in Electrical Engineering from 2010 to 2014. Then he undertook a MSc in Signal Processing and Communication at the University of Edinburgh with Prof. Mike Davies from 2014 to 2015, worked on the Non-uniform FFT based 3D image reconstruction algorithms for cone-beam CT.

Prof. Mulgrew received his B.Sc. degree in 1979 from Queen's University Belfast. After graduation, he worked for 4 years as a Development Engineer in the Radar Systems Department at Ferranti, Edinburgh.

From 1983-1986 he was a research associate in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.

He was appointed to lectureship in 1986, received his Ph.D. in 1987, promoted to senior lecturer in 1994 and became a reader in 1996.

The University of Edinburgh appointed him to a Personal Chair in October 1999 (Professor of Signals and Systems).

He currently holds the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Signal Processing.

His research interests are in adaptive signal processing and estimation theory and in their application to radar and audio systems.

Prof. Mulgrew is a co-author of three books on signal processing.
