Biography
Farouk received a first class masters degree in electronics engineering from the University of Hull. After which, he was awarded a departmental scholarship to research energy harvesting (EH) conversion mechanisms in the defence of his PhD thesis.
He has worked as a consultant technology analyst and industry analyst for numerous market research firms looking at quantifying the EH and wireless charging industries. Before joining the Institute of Railway Research, he was involved in commercialising several EH devices with US and UK start-up companies and academic institutions.
Currently he is involved with several remote condition monitoring (RCM) and EH projects looking at automating safety critical systems for the railway Intelligent Infrastructure System.
