Dr Soheil Ahmadi

Overview

Dr Soheil Ahmadi is an early-career academic at City St George’s, University of London. He specialises in electromagnetics, particularly focusing on electromagnetic losses in high-voltage underground cables. His recent research explores Skin and Proximity Effects, Finite Element Modelling, and mitigation strategies within cable systems. In addition to his research activities, Dr Ahmadi is dedicated to student-centred teaching and practical engineering design education. He is currently leading the development of a structured extra-curricular activity programme for the City St George's Engineering Department, designed to strengthen transferable skills, industry readiness, and student experience.

Research Interests

Electromagnetic loss mechanisms in high-voltage cables — investigating dielectric and conductive losses to enhance efficiency and reliability of power transmission systems.

EEG-based brain–computer interface (BCI) — developing signal-processing and machine-learning methods to translate neural activity into reliable control commands.

Wireless power transfer for electric vehicles — developing resonant inductive coupling methods and circuit topologies to boost charging efficiency and real-world feasibility.

Medical imaging via electromagnetic methods — developing imaging systems based on millimetre-wave or microwave techniques for non-invasive diagnostics and subsurface imaging.

Electromagnetic shielding and protection — studying novel design strategies to protect sensitive electronics from EMI and EMP threats.

Electromagnetics in energy infrastructure resilience — assessing and mitigating effects of electromagnetic disturbances (e.g. solar storms, lightning, EMP) on power networks.
