Bio sketch: Syed Ali Hassan received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology,
Atlanta, USA in 2011. He received his MS Mathematics from Georgia Tech in 2011 and MS Electrical Engineering
from University of Stuttgart, Germany, in 2007. He was awarded BE Electrical Engineering (highest honors) from
National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Pakistan, in 2004. His broader area of research is signal
processing for communications. Currently, he is working as an Associate Professor at the School of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science (SEECS), NUST, where he is heading the IPT research group, which focuses on
various aspects of theoretical communications. Prior to joining SEECS, he worked as a research associate at Cisco
Systems Inc., CA, USA, where he was involved with the home networking business unit in devising e cient
strategies for home networking. Dr. Hassan is a member of IEEE and IEEE Communications society, author/co-author of numerous IEEE conference
and journal papers and a reviewer for many journals and transactions. He has organized sessions in IWCMC 2015, VTC 2015, Stemcom 2016 and
WCNC 2016 among others. Dr. Hassan has chaired several sessions in international conferences and has served as a TPC member for IEEE Tencon
2012, IEEE ICET 2012, and IEEE IEISA 2012, IEEE PIMRC 2013, IEEE VTC 2013, WCSP 2014, MILCOM 2015, and so on.
