About me

Dr. Sunday Atuba is a senior lecturer in electrical and electronic engineering at the University of the West of England (UWE), Bristol. He brings a broad and multidisciplinary technical background with expertise in analytical and numerical modelling, applied physics, control systems, sensors and instrumentation, robotics, cloud computing, and embedded systems.

He is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) and a Chartered Engineer (CEng) with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). He holds an MBA from Aberdeen Business School and a PhD in optical engineering from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. Dr. Atuba has led and collaborated on a wide range of engineering projects with industry partners across sectors, including energy, telecommunications, medical and biosensing technologies, control systems, and instrumentation.

He has demonstrated academic leadership through programme design, quality assurance, and the delivery of engineering education across three continents: Africa, Asia, and Europe. He has successfully led teaching teams and curriculum development in diverse higher education settings and is committed to driving innovation in engineering education.

Dr. Atuba is also active in academic peer review and research governance. He serves as a reviewer for UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)/EPSRC, Advance HE’s National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS), and the Journal of Optics—the Science Publishing Group, and he has acted as an external examiner for some UK universities. His academic contributions and insight are widely respected within both the research and teaching communities.

His research interests span a variety of cutting-edge areas, including
•Sensors and instrumentation
•Control systems
•Fibre lasers and fibre-based sensing
•Lab-on-a-chip technologies
•Solitons and ultrashort pulse propagation
•Spectroscopy and optoelectronics
•Nonlinear fibre optics and pulse compression
•Computational photonics
•Integrability aspects of nonlinear partial differential equations
He has published in these areas and has contributed new theoretical and applied insights with relevance to biomedical engineering, communications, and precision measurement systems.

Dr. Atuba is currently accepting PhD students.
Prospective topics include (but are not limited to):
•Chip-integrated biosensors for disease diagnosis
•Fibre sensor-based applications

Students with interests in photonic sensing, embedded systems, control technologies, or interdisciplinary applications of optical engineering are especially encouraged to enquire.

Area of expertise

Sensors and instrumentation, control systems, robotics, solitons, nonlinear fiber optics, ultrashort pulses, computational photonics, and integrability aspects of nonlinear partial differential equations
