Dr. Ababil Hossain
Ph.D. in EE, University of California, Davis, USA
RF/Antenna Engineer, Silicon Valley, California, USA
I am an RF/Antenna expert working in a tech company in Silicon Valley, California. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of California-Davis. Previously, I received my M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Utah State University, USA, with an emphasis on reconfigurable antenna systems and radio frequency circuits. Originally, I am from Bangladesh and obtained both my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from BUET, the most reputed and pioneering engineering institution in that country. During my Ph.D., I innovated novel electrically compact ultrawideband antennas for ground-penetrating radar imaging system applications. My current research interests are applied electromagnetics, antennas, and metasurfaces, primarily focusing on emerging wireless technologies, radar, and sensing systems.
Specialities: Applied Electromagnetics, Antennas, Radar Systems, Metamaterials & 5G-mmWave.
