Biography:

Riaz Hussain did his BS in Electrical Engineering from University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Peshawar with honors and graduated from North Carolina State University (NCSU), Raleigh USA with majors in networks. His area of research is mobility in heterogeneous networks. He has more than 6 years of industrial experience from Nortel Networks (Research Triangle Park, USA) and Atmel MMC (Morrissville, USA) in the cutting edge technologies. He did his Ph.D. in 2013 and the dissertation title was: "Modeling, Analysis and Optimization of Vertical Handover Schemes in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks". Currently, he is associated with COMSATS University Islamabad, Pakistan, serving as assistant professor in the department of electrical engineering. His current research interests include cognitive radio networks, device to device communication, and the Internet of Things. He has more than 15 publications in high impact factor journals, 5 conference paper publications and a US Patent to his credit. (rhussain@comsats.edu.pk, +92-333-5638665)
