In the UK, technology MR specialist ABI Research has appointed Dr. Mo Haghighi as a Senior Analyst in its Strategic Technologies Group, where he will focus on IoT and IoE semiconductors.

ABI provides analysis and quantitative forecasting of trends in global connectivity and other emerging technologies, from offices in North America, Europe and Asia.

Haghighi (pictured) joins after working in the University of Bristol’s department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. While there, he was involved in the SPHERE project (in collaboration with IBM and TOSHIBA), and his research involved developing wearable and environmental sensors, as well as integrating optimization algorithms, in order to facilitate data gathering in sensor-based healthcare technologies. He also worked as a postdoctoral research assistant in Wireless Sensor Networks Forensics within the Network Security group, where he investigated security-related issues in large-scale sensor networks, IoT, and cloud-based data-gathering as part of a European project called FORTOO (FORensic TOOls).

ABI Research’s Chief Research Officer Stuart Carlaw comments: ‘The arrival of Dr. Haghighi demonstrates our commitment to further extend and improve what is already the most experienced and largest stable of dedicated analysts covering IoE and IoT. His highly relevant experience in this nascent market dovetails nicely with our research agenda that continues to drive deeper into end user markets.’
