Welcome...
Dr Geoff Merrett is a Lecturer in the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton. He was awarded a first class honours degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Southampton in 2004, where he subsequently studied for a PhD in the Electronic Systems and Devices research group. His PhD thesis was entitled "Energy- and Information-Managed Wireless Sensor Networks: Modelling and Simulation", which he successfully defended in December 2008. His current and future research interests are in the areas of low-power wireless sensing and sensor networks, and particularly their use in medical applications. He founded and chairs an ECS interest group on wireless sensing (WiSE) as part of the "sensor networks" research theme of the School's Pervasive Systems Centre. Dr Merrett is the author of a number of international journal and conference publications in the area of wireless sensor networks, and is currently contributing to a chapter on "Wireless Devices and Sensor Networks" in a book entitled "Energy Harvesting for Autonomous Systems". He is a member of the IET and an active reviewer for a number of international journals.
I have had a keen interest in photography for over ten years, focussing primarily on landscape photography. More recently, subjects have also included travel, architecture, people and wildlife. During this time, my equipment has evolved through 35mm film cameras (single use and compact zoom), digital compacts (consumer and prosumer) and Nikon digital SLRs (amateur and prosumer). A selection of the photographs that I have taken around the world can be accessed on a seperate website (photo.geoffmerrett.co.uk), or by using the 'photography' link at the top of this page. I enjoy walking and hiking (often as a means of supporting my interest in photography!), listening to a wide range of music, and playing the piano/keyboard. Additionally, I enjoy a broad array of films, and continue to follow the astounding developments that are being made in computer animation and computer graphics. I am interested in graphic design, digital image manipulation, and website design. I am also a proficient computer programmer, and build and upgrade computers. I also ski, and play badminton, football and golf.
