Emad Alsusa completed a PhD in Telecommunications from the University of Bath in the United Kingdom in 2000 and in the same year he was appointed to work on developing high data rates systems as part of an industrial project based at Edinburgh University. He joined Manchester University (then UMIST) in September 2003 as a faculty member where he is currently the Head of the Microwave and Communications Group.
His research interests lie in the area of Communication Systems with a focus on Physical, MAC and Network Layers including developing techniques and algorithms for array signal detection, channel estimation and equalization, adaptive signal precoding, interference avoidance through novel radio resource management techniques, cognitive radio and energy and spectrum optimization techniques. Applications of his research include cellular networks, IoT and Powerline Communications. Emad’s research work has resulted in over 270 journals and refereed conference publications mainly in top IEEE transactions and conferences. Emad has supervised over 30+ successful PhDs to completion with several more ongoing.
Emad is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE, USA), a Fellow of the UK Higher Academy of Education, and has had senior roles in many IEEE functions including TPC Track Chair of a number of conferences such as Globecome'23, VTC’16, GISN’16, PIMRC’17 and Globecom’18, as well as the General Co-Chair of the OnlineGreenCom’16 Conference and the UK representative in the International Union of Radio Science. Emad has received a number of awards including the best paper award in the IEEE international Symposium on Power Line Communications 2015, the IEEE Wireless Communications and Networwking conference, 2018, and the IEEE International Symposium on Networks, Computers & Communications.
He has acted as an external PhD examiner at many universities in the UK and abroad and has been involved in consultancy work for a number of organisations including Her Majesty’s Government Communications Centre (HMGCC), VerazLTD and Northern Consortium UK (NCUK) Group, Service Engineering, Geovitsa, etc. Emad has acted as the Undergraduate External Examiner at the University of Exeter, Sheffield Hallam University, the University of Middlesex and PGT External at the University of Edinburgh.
Emad is a frequent reviewer for many IEEE journal and funding organisations including EPSRC, EU H2020, Canadian NSERC, Qatar Foundation in Qatar, KFPUM in KSA and Khalifa Foundation in UAE. His research work has attracted funding from both government organisations (EPSRC & EU, Northwest Development) and industry including Philips, Alstom, Agilent, IP Group and UMIP. Emad has also been a member of major industrial telecommunications consortia such as MobileVCET (2000-2003) and GreentouchT (2010-1015) focussed on the development of next generation communication networks which include many of the key players in the wireless industry such as Bell-Labs, Vodafone, Hawaii, Nokia-Siemens, Alcatel-Lucent, and many others.
