Dear Sir or Madam,

I have a PhD in engineering from ABET accredited university, and My degrees are all attested form the relevant ministry of education and recognized accordingly. I have served for many years in the Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineering Departments, teaching several courses for the engineering students. I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Prior to joining the academia, I worked as a consultant and operations manager for Du and Etisalat (Major telecom companies in UAE)

I began at HCT in the academic year of 2012-2013, after several years of teaching and research in Oman, KSA and Turkey. My primary teaching responsibilities are at the electrical engineering department.

In addition to communications, electronics and electrical engineering courses, I always push myself to the limit to serve the department needs and teach general courses whenever needed. Such as Health and safety, and design thinking courses, as part of my teaching responsibilities. I have been involved in Faculty Wide Assessments FWA, Course preparation, ECAF, and relative issues. I am also a course Leader for 3 courses. Since my joining date at HCT, my performance record can be described as hardworking and over delivering for the faculty, where I have used all possible teaching methods, research and multiple years of practical experience to deliver the best outcome to the students. Below is a list of the taught courses: 1. Electric Circuits 1 & 2

2. Signals and Systems

3. Communication Systems & Digital Communication Systems 4. Control Systems

5. Mobile Communication

6. Data communication

7. Health and Safety

8. Design thinking in engineering

9. Machines and Power

10. Intelligent systems/Artificial Intelligence and neural networks 11. Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering

12. Electronics 1

13. Digital and Logic Circuits

14. Math Courses for Engineers

15. Electromagnetics

In addition, I am a research oriented Faculty, hence research is a vital key in my progression. After joining HCT, I was more focused on teaching and education. However, I managed to Cornaish Street – Cornaish, Abu Dhabi

Currently, there are some conference papers submitted and one journal paper under investigation.

I have presented at international, national, and local conferences. The research on which I am currently working is Multi Cell MIMO communication systems 4G and 5G systems. Another research is a collaborative research in power systems with one colleague at HCT. My Latest research was on Machine learning, artificial intelligence and communication systems.

Brief Job Description at My Current Employer (Academic) The Engineering Technology program established in 1985, it offers Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science degree programs in the fields of Electrical Engineering with the primary goal of preparing Emirati and national engineers with outstanding technical competencies to enable them to contribute in the various aspects of the country.

Masters Thesis

Title Peak to Average Power Ratio Reduction in OFDM Systems Supervisors Professor Huseyin Ozkaramanli

Description This thesis explored the idea of using waveles as orthogonal carriers to replace the carriers in OFDM systems, All simulation results such as Bit Error Rate (BER) under different types of modulations. Power Distribution of the signal, Frequency spectrum of the carriers, were carried out using Matlab software package. Wavelets and signal processing techniques were used to minimize the peaks that occurs in OFDM signal. Experience
