BIOGRAPHY

Masood Ur Rehman received the B.Sc. degree in electronics and telecommunication engineering from University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan in 2004 and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from Queen Mary University of London, London, UK, in 2006 and 2010, respectively. He worked at Queen Mary University of London as a postdoctoral research assistant till 2012 before joining the Centre for Wireless Research at University of Bedfordshire as a Lecturer. He served briefly at the University of Essex and then moved to the James Watt School of Engineering at University of Glasgow in the capacity of an Assistant Professor.

His research interests include compact antenna design, radiowave propagation and channel characterization, satellite navigation system antennas in cluttered environment, electromagnetic wave interaction with human body, body-centric wireless networks and sensors, remote health care technology, mmWave and nano communications for body-centric networks and D2D/H2H communications. He has worked on a number of projects supported by industrial partners and research councils. He has contributed to a patent and authored/co-authored 4 books, 7 book chapters and more than 85 technical articles in leading journals and peer reviewed conferences.

Dr. Ur Rehman is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (UK), a member of the IET and part of the technical program committees and organizing committees of several international conferences, workshops and special sessions. He is acting as an associate editor of the IEEE Access and IET Electronics Letters and lead guest editor of numerous special issues of renowned journals. He also serves as a reviewer for book publishers, IEEE conferences and leading journals.
