Rate My Professor Amin Abbosh

Professor Amin Abbosh is a Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science within the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology at the University of Queensland, where he has been affiliated since 2005. He leads the 42-member Electromagnetic Innovations (ƐMAGIN) team, focusing on electromagnetic sensing and imaging. Abbosh previously served as Director of Research Training and Director of Research in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. As an ARC Future Fellow, he has directed over 25 competitive grants from the Australian Research Council, Cooperative Research Centres Projects, and industry partners, spanning fundamental electromagnetics, microwave engineering, telecommunications, and medical imaging translation. In 2013, he was awarded a Doctor of Engineering by the University of Queensland for his thesis on the design and analysis of wideband passive microwave devices using planar structures. His career highlights include recognition for international standing in research and excellence in supervision.

Abbosh specializes in medical microwave imaging and microwave and millimeter-wave engineering. His work develops advanced imaging and sensing systems using electromagnetic techniques at radio frequencies for non-invasive detection of conditions such as brain strokes, breast cancer, liver steatosis, pulmonary edema, and intracranial hematomas. He has pioneered portable, wearable, and flexible systems for head, knee, and torso scanning, incorporating physics-guided deep learning for forward and inverse solvers, AI-enhanced classification, clutter removal, and super-resolution imaging. Additional expertise covers ultra-wideband antennas, bandpass filters, power dividers, phase shifters, metamaterial-loaded antennas, frequency-selective surfaces, leaky-wave antennas, and reconfigurable antennas for low-earth-orbit satellite communications providing broadband access to remote areas. His innovations are protected by over 16 patents. Key publications include book chapters such as 'Printed Tapered Slot Antennas' (2007), 'FPGA-based testbed for MIMO signal transmission' (2009), and 'Compact planar multiband antennas for mobile applications' (2013), alongside recent journal articles like 'Medical microwave imaging using physics-guided deep learning – Part 1: Forward solver' (2025) and 'Real-time super-resolution microwave imaging using Gamma transformation' (2026). In 2016, he received the University of Queensland Award for Excellence in Research Higher Degree Supervision.
