RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research focuses on communication subsystems for CubeSat and small satellite missions, with particular emphasis on advanced antenna design, wireless power transfer, and energy-efficient communication systems. My work includes the development of patch and slot antennas for space, 5G/6G, IoT, and wearable/medical applications. I am also interested in rectenna systems for RF energy harvesting, metasurface and metamaterial-based antennas, and emerging technologies for sustainable wireless power transfer.

 

Potential supervision topics include:

  • CubeSat communication subsystems and antenna design
  • Wearable and biomedical antennas
  • 5G/6G and IoT antenna systems
  • RF energy harvesting and rectenna design
  • Metasurface and metamaterial-based antennas
  • Wireless power transfer systems

The aim of this project is to develop sustainable wireless power solutions for Internet of Things (IoT) devices in smart cities like Dubai. This project aims to create rectennas that harvest ambient RF energy from sources like Wi-Fi and mobile networks. These rectennas, coupled with AI-driven Power Management Units, will provide efficient, low-maintenance power for IoT devices, reducing environmental impact and enhancing network durability. This project highlights significant international research collaboration and innovation.
