Emad Abd-Elrady

I received the Licentiate and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering with specialization in Signal Processing from Division of Systems and Control, Uppsala University, Sweden in 2002 and 2005, respectively.

From January 2006 to March 2009, I was a senior researcher and project leader at Christian Doppler Laboratory for Nonlinear Signal Processing, Graz University of Technology, Austria. The project was in cooperation with Infineon Technologies and focused on implementation aspects of adaptive digital compensation methods for analog nonlinearities in VLSI circuits for broadband communications. I also supervised a Ph.D. student in this period who obtained his degree in 2009.

From March 2010 to January 2011, I was a research fellow in the Institute for Digital Communication (IDCOM), the University of Edinburgh, UK. The project title was distributed signal processing for distributed sensor networks and was funded by the ministry of defense and organized by the UDRC at Imperial College. The research work focused on distributed sensing through diffusion networks using projection over convex sets technique.

Since February 2011, I have been working as a faculty and then assistant professor in the Electrical Engineering division at HCT - Abu Dhabi Campus where I am teaching different courses such as electric/electronic circuits, engineering measurements, communication systems, instrumentation and control, signals and systems, mobile communications, leadership skills, applied programming and safety, health & environment. In the period from 2013 to 2015, I was leading the department at the capacity of academic coordinator. Also, during this period I was leading the communication engineering – course development team (CDT). I also served as a course leader for instrumentation and control, digital signal processing, and signals and systems courses.

I succeeded in establishing an industrial collaboration with Atlas Telecom and Alliance communications that led to sponsoring several students’ graduation projects in areas such as RFID technology, Internet of things, and radar systems. 

I am holding a fellowship from Advance HE (FHEA) and NCFE level 3 assessor of vocational achievement.
