Abd-elhamid M. Taha

Biography

Dr. Abd-Elhamid M. Taha is currently an Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering at Alfaisal University. His B.Sc. (Honours) and M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering were earned at Kuwait University in 1999 and 2002, and his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering was earned Queen's University, Canada in 2007. Dr. Taha's general research interest is in the area of computer networks and communications. His particular focus, however, has been on radio resource management in wireless networks, which is concerned with the allocation of the wireless resource at both the instantaneous and short term levels. Recent themes in this direction include the design of resource schedulers with reduced complexity, and enabling machine-to-machine communications. Other currently active areas of interest include simplified localization, i.e., location computation, in massive wireless sensing networks, mobile security in the Internet of Things (IoT), and modeling in networked cyber-physical systems. This latter aspect refers to facilitating the analysis of networks with both computing and physical components, such as vehicles, robots, and unmanned flight. He has written and lectured extensively on broadband wireless networks, focusing on radio resource management techniques. He is also the co-author of the book 'LTE, LTE-Advanced and WiMAX: Toward IMT-Advanced Networks' by Wiley & Sons and a presenter for several tutorials at flagship IEEE communication Society events. His service record includes organizing and service on the editorial and technical program committees of many esteemed publication events and venues, as well constantly advising and reviewing activities for funding agencies, technical book publishers and research journals and conferences. Dr. Taha's currently a Senior Member of the IEEE and the IEEE Communications Society and the Association for Computing Machinery.
