Research projects
Analysing Harmful Electromagnetic Exposure due to Future Millimeter Wave Transmissions
Funded by: Lottery Health Research Fund
This study is investigating potential adverse effects of electromagnetic radiation on human health caused by the next generation of telecommunication networks – or 5G.
The study, led by Dr Faraz Hasan, will potentially either build consumer confidence in the future telecommunication services or result in the recommendation of industry modifications to the technology to ensure human wellbeing.
Developing a new way of measuring animal pain
A new device designed by engineers and veterinarians at Massey University seeks to change the way we understand and manage animal pain, starting with sheep. The research team worked with Massey’s engineering expertise to develop a device which is better for animal and researcher. It transmits data via wifi and is lighter and more comfortable for the animal.
Redefining the dense world of 5G telecommunications
Partners: Auckland University of Technology (New Zealand), Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), Sungkyunkwan University (South Korea)
This project explores innovative methods to make future 5G communication technology a reality without incurring heavy financial investment. This work, led by Dr Faraz Hasan, changes the very nature of 5G networks from being fixed, capacity-limited and hardware-driven to being dynamic, always-available and software-driven.
Research centres and groups
