DrMarco Alban Paccha

Marco’s teaching spans undergraduate and postgraduate education in electrical and electronic engineering, with a focus on practical, systems-oriented learning that reflects his research ethos. He contributes to courses in embedded systems, analogue and mixed-signal design, and biomedical interfaces, emphasising hands-on engagement with real technologies and real data. Students are challenged to integrate hardware, firmware, and data components in medically relevant contexts, preparing them for research, industry, and innovation in healthcare technologies. 

He has taught and supervised students in engineering fundamentals, project design and execution, and health-focused nanoscale systems, fostering critical thinking, independence, and interdisciplinary collaboration. This includes mentoring final-year projects and supervising MSc and PhD research on topics such as low-power biomedical architectures, secure health-data pipelines, wireless sensor networks, and clinical wearable systems. 

Marco’s teaching philosophy emphasises translational relevance, encouraging students to consider usability, safety, ethical data practices, and clinical applicability alongside technical performance. His commitment to student success is reflected in his recognition as a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and his mentoring roles across diverse educational programmes.
