Areas of Research/Teaching Expertise

300019 Digital Systems 2
300046 Multimedia Signal Processing
300076 Microprocessor Systems

Qi is an expert on radar signal processing. Among many of his contributions, he developed fast algorithms for array calibration and the determination of the number of targets. he co-edited a book published in 2004 by Marcel Dekker and was included in Marquis "Who's Who in the World" in 2005 and Marquis "Who's Who in Science and Technology" in 2005-2006.

In the last couple of years, Qi has focused on signal processing in OFDM systems and has proposed methods for frequency & timing synchronisation and channel identification.

He is currently interested in waveform design in MIMO signal processing and the application of signal processing techniques to magnetic resonance imaging enhancement.
