Honors Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Upon graduation, he worked in the satellite communications industry as a systems engineer for four and a half years. Dr. Sheriff joined the University of Bradford as a lecturer in 1991 and was appointed a professor of Electronic Engineering in 2002. Following almost twenty-seven years at Bradford, Dr. Sheriff spent just shy of two years as a Professor at the University of Bolton, prior to joining Edge Hill University at the start of 2021. Dr. Sheriff holds an honorary visiting professor role at Beijing University of Chemical Technology and Sichuan University, China.
