Biography:

ALAM ZAIB received B.Sc. (Hons.) degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Engineering & Technology (UET), Peshawar, Pakistan in 2002, M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering & Information Technology, jointly from Universität Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany in 2009 and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), Dhahran, Saudi Arabia in 2015. He was an Erasmus Mundus scholar in MERIT master program from 2007 to 2009. Since 2010, he has been serving as Assistant Professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI), Abbottabad Campus, Abbottabad. His research interests are in statistical signal processing, channel estimation for OFDM and massive MIMO systems, blind equalization, adaptive filtering and machine learning.
