IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine's unique aim is to publish original work in the intersection of engineering and clinical translation. The journal's focus is interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers, healthcare providers, and industry and aims to publish results and best practices from these translational efforts.
PUBUDU N. PATHIRANA (SM'08) was born in Matara, Sri Lanka, in 1970, and was educated at Royal College at Colombo, Colombo, Sri Lanka. He received the B.E. (Hons.) degree in electrical engineering and the B.Sc. degree in mathematics, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA, Australia, in 1996 and 2000, all sponsored by the government of Australia on EMSS and IPRS scholarships, respectively. He was a Post- Doctoral Research Fellow with Oxford University, Oxford, U.K., Research Fellow with the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, Australia, and Consultant with the Defence Science and Technology Organization, Australia, in 2002. He was a Visiting Associate Professor with Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA, in 2009. He is currently an Associate Professor with the School of Engineering, Deakin University, VIC, Australia. His current research interests include mobile/wireless networks, rehabilitation robotics, and radar array signal processing.
Non-contact detection characteristic of Doppler radar provides an unobtrusive means of respiration detection and monitoring. This avoids additional preparations such as physical sensor attachment or special clothing which can be useful for certain healthcare applications. Furthermore, robustness of Doppler radar...
