Dr Ali Ghrayeb, professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Program at Texas A&M University at Qatar (Tamuq), has been elevated to Fellow grade of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership and is recognised as a prestigious honour and a distinctive career achievement.
Ghrayeb has been recognised for his contributions to modulation design and implementation of multiple antenna wireless systems, according to the IEEE.He has significantly contributed to the advancement of modulation design and implementation of multiple antenna wireless communications systems known as multiple-input multiple-output, or MIMO. MIMO is considered one of the most important breakthroughs in the history of wireless communications, revolutionising the telecom industry and penetrating almost all wireless standards.
Ghrayeb’s contributions in modulation design for MIMO systems are being considered for inclusion in future wireless standards, especially 5G, Li-Fi and the Internet of Things (IoT). For example, Orange France have built a testbed and demonstrated the efficacy of his schemes for 5G. Samsung and China Mobile Research Institute have also successfully conducted a 5G prototype trial employing Ghrayeb’s
modulation schemes.
His contributions to low-complexity MIMO systems has made its way to a number of wireless standards, including the IEEE 802.11 standard (transmit antenna selection). It is an option for the Cisco AirNet wireless LAN system and has been included in the LTE Standard (base-station antenna selection) for various deployment options. Moreover, his work on low-complexity decoding has been implemented by a number of leading companies in the storage industry, including IBM, Seagate and Link-a-Media.
Ghrayeb earned a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Arizona (US). He joined the Tamuq faculty in 2012. He was previously a professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Concordia University (Canada). He was the executive chair of the 2016 IEEE WCNC conference held in Doha. He has served on executive committees of several IEEE conferences and also on the editorial boards of several IEEE journals, including the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications and IEEE Transactions on
Communications.
