Contact details for Dr Daniel James
Research expertise
The development of technology in traditional disciplines like sport and medicine has been largely been restricted by size of instrumentation. Dr James has created new possibilities by developing novel monitoring technologies that take incorporate recent progress in microelectronic technology. Specifically, wearable sensors and accompanying support instrumentation has allowed more extensive ambulatory monitoring to take place.
With a PhD in Radio Physics and several years working with the Australian institute of Sport in developing patented novel technology he now leads a range of commercial and academic projects within the Centre for Wireless Monitoring and Applications.
Current teaching areas
- Dr. James is currently working as a full time researcher in the Centre for Wireless Monitoring and Application. He supervises a number of industry and academic projects incorporating research assistants and MPhil and PhD students.
