Abbas Mohammed (Senior Member, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree from Liverpool University, Liverpool, U.K., in 1992 and the Swedish “Docent degree” (equivalent to a D.Sc. or two Ph.D. degrees in different areas of research) in radio communications and navigation from Blekinge Institute of Technology, Karlskrona, Sweden, in 2001.,He is a Professor of Telecommunications Theory at the School of Engineering, Blekinge Institute of Technology. He was employed by Ericsson AB, where he consulted on power control standardization issues for third generation (3G) systems, and a visiting lecturer to several Swedish universities. He is the author of over 200 publications in international journals and conference proceedings in the fields of signal processing, telecommunications, and navigation systems. He is also the author of over 20 invited book chapters on the above areas with various international publishers. He has also developed techniques for measuring skywave delays in Loran-C receivers and received a Best Paper Award from the International Loran Association (USA), in connection to this work. His research interests are in space-time signal processing and multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel modeling, antennas and propagation, cognitive radio, satellite and high altitude platforms communications, and radio navigation systems.,Prof. Mohammed is the recipient of the Blekinge Research Foundation Award “Researcher of the Year Award and Prize” for 2006. He has been a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) since 2004, and received a Fellowship of the U.K.'s Royal Institute of Navigation in 2006 “in recognition of his significant contribution in navigation and in particular to advanced signal processing techniques that have enhanced the capability of Loran-C.” He is an Associate Editor to the International Journal of Navigation and Observation, an Associate Editor for Selected Areas in Telecommunications of Cyber journals, a Board Member of the IEEE Signal Processing Swedish Chapter, a Board Member of the new IET Teknologia journal, a former Board Member of Radio Engineering journal, and TPC member to many international conferences. He has also been a Guest Editor for several special issues of international journals. He is the Swedish representative and member of the management committee to several European Union (EU) projects including Cost 297 Action on “High Altitude Platforms for Communications and Other Services.” In 2008, he led an international editorial team for a Special Issue entitled “Advanced communication techniques and applications for high altitude platforms” of EURASIP International Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking to promote this novel technology and the research activities of EU Cost 297 Action to a wider audience.(Based on document published on 22 August 2011).Show Less
