Biography
Muhmmad Shah Alam obtained his B.Sc.Engineering (Electronics & Communication Engineering) and M.Sc. Engineering (Electronics & Communication Engineering) degrees from in the year 1988 and 1991, respectively. He was awarded Queen's research fellowship, which is quite rare to obtain for non-European students, for carrying out research at the Queen's University of Belfast (UK) from where he obtained his Ph.D. degree in Electronics Engineering in the year 2002. He worked as a visiting scientist at nano-technology center at Queen's University of Belfast (QUB) during 2004-2005 under Royal Society (London) funded scheme. In the year 2010, he completed his post-doctoral study in the area of nano-electronics under Commonwealth Fellowship Programme. He has been to several countries including UK, USA, Canada, Denmark, and France for the purpose of academic interaction and collaborative research. He has been sanctioned a major research project of amount ₹ 23, 814, 00 during 2010-2014 by Department of Science and Technology, Government of India under National Nano-technology Mission. He completed the collaborative research between AMU and Technical University of Dresden (TUD), Germany in the year 2014 on radio design for wireless PANs operating in 40/60 GHz band for high-quality video distribution in home environment (Funded by Indian National Science Academy (INSA) & German Foundation Research (DFG)). He has signed official agreement for technology support during 2015-2019 with IHP Germany to carry out RF/Millimeter-Wave IC design up to 300 GHz. He has worked extensively in the areas of rf device modelling and nano-electronics and published more than 50 research papers including reputed journals like microwave optical letter, the international journal of electronics, solid-state electronics. His current research interests include Millimeter Wave Circuits and their Battery-less ("Green") Operation for Next Generation Internet-of-Things (IoT), Multi-band rf Circuit Design for WiGig, Evaluation and Performance Comparison of Emerging Device Technologies, Radio Frequency Models and Parameter Extraction for low power nano-circuit design. He has interest in the teaching of courses like nano-electronics, advance device modeling, rf system design, microwave devices & integrated circuits and microwave & antenna.
