Biography

Mohamedfareq Abdulmalek (Member, IEEE) is currently an Associate Professor with the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences, University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD), Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Before he joined UOWD, he worked as the Dean of the School of Electrical Systems Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Perlis. Prior to this, he held industry positions for five and half years with Alcatel and Siemens. At Alcatel, he worked at the Asia Pacific Regional Centre of Competence, specializing in mobile radio network design. At Siemens, he worked at the Information and Communication Mobile Division, where he developed the mobile strategy for the Malaysia market. He believes in hybrid, multi-disciplinary teamwork, and collaboration with researchers from other disciplines. He has obtained various national research and commercialization grants at the national levels. He has generated total research and development funds of USD 1.1 million over the past ten years, coordinated 28 research projects, funded 27 research assistants, and successfully graduated 25 Ph.D. and nine M.Sc. (by research) students. His product “Smart Communication Platforms at Low Altitude to Enhance Disaster Risk Management,” has been granted patent. To date, he has published 381 peer-reviewed scientific publications. His work has been cited more than 4,165 times and with an H-index of 30. His articles have attracted 215,630 number of reads in ResearchGate. He has written six books/book chapters. He maintains a broad range of research interests include applied electromagnetic, wearable textile antenna, microwave absorbers from agricultural wastes (rice husks, sugar cane bagasse, and banana leaves), effects of RF on health, RF energy harvesting, and wireless communication. His research outcomes have appeared in journals, such as Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group), IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Progress in Electromagnetics Research, IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications, Radioengineering, Mathematical Problems in Engineering, International Journal of Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Access, and Journal of Measurement. His invention, “Design and Development of Frequency Selective Surface Structure to Enhance WLAN Application Signal,” won Bronze Medal at Seoul International Invention Festival, in 2014. He received special award from the World Invention Intellectual Property Associations (WIIPA). His inventions ‘Smart Material Antenna’ and ‘Smart antenna for unmanned aerial vehicle’ both won Silver Medal at Geneva Inventions, in 2012. He appeared in the World Health Organization list of experts in the world for RF, in 2014.
