Professor Soleimani  leads the  Engineering Tomography Lab  (ETL)  group he founded in 2011.  The main  research  themes are in AI Engineering for   "Electrical and Electromagnetic Tomography”,"X-ray CT", "Ultrasound tomography", “Multi-modality Tomography”,  “Inverse Problems, and Machine learning”,   with applications in " Industrial tomography",  "Robotic touch sensing", and  "Medical imaging"

ETL works in partnership  with the leading UK and international research groups as well as various industrial collaborators. Professor Soleimani has led the University of Bath's  collaborations with CERN  through CMS research and educational partnership established in 2019. This followed a highly successful  medical imaging project between Bath and  CERN  leading to a joint open-source software platform  TIGRE. 

I have proposed and created MSc in AI for Engineering and Design, a faculty wide MSc program started in 2024. I also proposed and created  our very successful new UG  degree in  Robotics Engineering, which started in 2018.  I have  been instrumental in the success of Integrated Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (IMEE)   an MEng course running since 2007.
