Algorithms and VLSI Implementations of MIMO Detection (PDF)

Dr. Ibrahim Bello received his Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University in 2006, MSc (with distinction) in Microelectronic Systems and Telecommunications from the University of Liverpool in 2010, and PhD in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from the University of Southampton in 2017. During his PhD, he investigated various ASIC architectures for MIMO detection algorithms. In 2019, he joined the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, where he carried out research in smart energy systems. Dr Bello was previously a lecturer at Ahmadu Bello University, Nigeria, where he taught various topics in software development and digital systems design. In 2022, he joined Dyson Technology Ltd. as a Senior Embedded Software Engineer. He retains a keen interest in hardware implementation of digital signal processing algorithms, the Internet of Things, and smart energy systems.
