Dr. Oluyomi Simpson received his PhD in Communications and Electronics Engineering from the University of Hertfordshire (UH), Hatfield, UK. His doctoral research focused on cognitive and cooperative wireless communications. Dr. Simpson is an Associate Professor of Communications Systems and Electronics and the Head of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the academic lead of the Communications Lab, and a key researcher in the Wireless Communication and RF Systems Research Lab within the School of Physics, Engineering and Computer Science (SPECS) at UH. He has authored over 50 publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences and has contributed to edited research books.

Dr. Simpson, a senior member of IEEE,  currently serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Communications Letters. His editorial contributions include serving as a Topic Editor for Machine Learning in Communication Systems and Networks. He was also the Lead Guest Editor of the special issue Cognitive and AI-enabled Wireless and Mobile Communications, published in IET Communications, which highlights cutting-edge research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and wireless technologies. He is the editor and author of the scholarly book series Machine Learning in Communication Systems and Networks, which explores the integration of machine learning techniques into modern communication systems. Further demonstrating his engagement with forward-looking technologies, Dr. Simpson is currently editing a forthcoming special topic titled Energy Harvesting and Power Transfer for Communications and Networks. He is also the inventor of a patented technology titled RFID Tag for Sample Rack.

His research interests and technical expertise lie in wireless communication and RF systems, including 6G wireless communication systems, physical layer security, machine learning in communications, cognitive radio systems, cooperative and relay networks, RFID technologies and applications, and RF energy harvesting communications. Dr. Simpson’s research embraces an innovative, interdisciplinary focus. He has led, supervised, and contributed to projects that enable the effective adoption of wireless communication algorithms, RF techniques, and sensor fusion in telecommunications, electronics, instrumentation, and the manufacturing industry. His research has been funded by government and industry bodies including UKRI-Innovate UK, Research England, European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), Royal Society, and Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
