Biography

Akram Alomainy (M’03–SM’13) received the M.Eng. degree in communication engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and electronic engineering (specialized in antennas and radio propagation) from the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), London, U.K., in 2003 and 2007, respectively. In 2007, he joined the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, QMUL, where he is currently a Reader with the Antennas and Electromagnetics Research Group and a member of the Centre for Intelligent Sensing, Institute of Bioengineering. He has authored or co-authored a book, five book chapters, and more than 220 technical papers (over 3900 citations and H-index 29) in leading journals and peer reviewed conferences. His current research interests include small and compact antennas for wireless body area networks, radio propagation characterization and modeling, antenna interactions with human body, computational electromagnetic, advanced antenna enhancement techniques for mobile and personal wireless communications, and advanced algorithm for smart and intelligent antenna and cognitive radio system. He is a member of the IET, a fellow of the Higher Education Academy, U.K., and also a College Member for Engineering and Physical Sciences Research, U.K., and its ICT prioritization panels. He was a recipient of the Isambard Brunel Kingdom Award in 2011 for being an outstanding young science and engineering communicator. He was selected to deliver a TEDx talk about the science of electromagnetic and also participated in many public engagement initiatives and festivals. He is also a reviewer for many funding agencies around the world, including the Expert Swiss National Science Foundation Research, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, U.K., and the Medical Research Council, U.K. He is an elected member of the U.K. International Union of Radio Science (URSI) panel to represent the U.K. interests of URSI Commission B from 2014 to 2017. He has managed to secure various research projects funded by research councils, charities, and industrial partners on projects ranging from fundamental electromagnetic to wearable technologies. He is the lead of Wearable Creativity Research with QMUL and has been invited to participate at the Wearable Technology Show 2015, Innovate U.K. 2015, and also in the recent Wearable Challenge organized by Innovate U.K. IC Tomorrow as a Leading Challenge Partner to support SMEs and industrial innovation.
