Recent Progress in Body-Centric Communications
Recent Progress in Body-Centric Communications
Body-centric communications (BCC) have emerged as a critical enabler for next- generation healthcare, human-computer interaction, and wearable technology. By facilitating efficient and reliable data exchange between on-body, intra-body, and off-body devices, BCC plays a key role in applications such as remote health monitoring, smart prosthetics, augmented reality, and human-machine interfaces. Recent advancements in wireless communication protocols, signal processing techniques, bio- integrated electronics, and artificial intelligence have significantly enhanced the performance, security, and energy efficiency of body-centric communication systems.

Dr. Hadi Heidari (PhD, SMIEEE, FHEA, FRSA, MIET, CEng) is Professor of Nanoelectronics in the James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. He is the Head of the Electronics and Nanoscale Engineering Division and holds an EPSRC Open Fellowship. His Microelectronics Lab (meLAB) conducts pioneering research on integrated micro/nanoelectronics design for medical (wearables and implantables) and industrial (quantum computing and ultrasound systems) applications. His group is part of the Communications, Sensing and Imaging (CSI) group, Centre for Medical and Industrial Ultrasonic (C-MIU), as well as Centre for Quantum Technology, where he leads modern cryoelectronics for quantum computing. Prof. Heidari is the CTO and co-founder of Neuranics, a deep-neurotech company which is building next-generation magnetic sensors for wearable neural interfaces. Prof Heidari’s meLAB has contributed to £30M national/international research projects and received over £10M funding from major research councils and funding organizations. Prof Heidari is a member of the IEEE Sensors Council Member-at-Large (2020-21; 2022-23) and was IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Board of Governors (2018-20). He is Associate Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems (JETCAS) and serves on the editorial board of several journals.

Sunasheer Bhattacharjee received his Dr.-Ing. (Ph.D.) degree in electrical engineering from the Faculty of Engineering, Kiel University, Germany in 2024.
