Dr Felix Ngobigha is a Senior Lecturer in Network Engineering & Course leader for MSc Advanced Computing at the School of Technology, Business and Arts. He holds a PhD in computing and electronic systems, an MSc in telecommunications & information systems from the University of Essex, Colchester, U.K., in 2005 and 2015 respectively. In 2000, he received the B.Tech. (Hons.) degree in electrical engineering (electronics option) from the Rivers State University of Science & Technology, Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

Prior to joining the University of Suffolk as a Lecturer in 2020, he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher and held a Visiting Research Fellow position in the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering at the University of Essex, UK from 2016 to 2020. He has also held a Lectureship position at the Department of Electrical/Electronic, Niger Delta University, Bayelsa State, Nigeria, between 2004 and 2011. From 2001 to 2004, he was a Scientific Officer with the Centre for Satellite Technology Development an activity centre of the National Space Research and Development Agency, Abuja, Nigeria and the Surrey Satellite Technology Limited, Guildford, UK.

 

Felix teaching and learning support covers several courses at the University of Suffolk which includes the following areas: future networks, computing, high-level electronic circuit design, wireless communications, microwave and/or antenna theory and other related fields.

Current teaching responsibilities:

 

  • Network and IoT Security
  • Securing the Network
  • Security for Computer Networks
  • Introduction to Networking

Felix is interested in research problems that arise in practical communication and/or electromagnetics scenarios including future networks with a major objective of bridging theory and practise. He is currently the Technology Lead for the Networking and Security theme within the Digital Futures Institute (DFI) and would be pleased to consider supervising doctoral students with the following research interests/topics:

  • Future Networks & IoT Security
  • Machine Learning for communication
  • Electromagnetic applications
  • High-level electronic design
