Qammer H. Abbasi, received his BSc and MSc degree in electronics and telecommunication engineering from University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Lahore, Pakistan (with distinction). He received his Ph.D. degree in Electronic and Electrical engineering from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), U.K., in Jan., 2012. From 2012 to June 2012, he was Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in Antenna and Electromagnetics group, QMUL, UK. From 2012 to 2013, he was international young scientist under National Science Foundation China (NSFC), and Assistant Professor in University of Engineering and Technology (UET), KSK, Lahore. From August, 2013 to April 2017 he was with the Center for Remote healthcare Technology and Wireless Research Group, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Texas A &M University (TAMUQ) initially as an Assistant Research Scientist and later was promoted to an Associate Research Scientist and Visiting lecture where he was leading multiple Qatar national research foundation grants. Currently Dr. Abbasi is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in James Watt school of engineering at University of Glasgow in addition to Visiting Lecturer with Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL). He has been mentoring several undergraduate, graduate students and postdocs. Dr. Abbasi has research portfolio of around £5 million and contributed to a patent, 7 books and more than 300 leading international technical journal and peer reviewed conference papers and received several recognitions for his research. Dr. Abbasi is an IEEE senior member and was Chair of IEEE young professional affinity group. He is an Associate editor for IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics, RF, and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology, IEEE Sensors, IEEE open access Antenna and Propagation and IEEE Access journal and acted as a guest editor for numerous special issues in top notch journals. He is a member of IET and commitee member for IET Antenna & Propagation and healthcare network. Dr. Abbasi has been a member of the technical program committees of several IEEE flagship conferences and technical reviewer for several IEEE and top notch journals including TPC chair for 4th international UCET conference 2019 and executive chair for 5th international UCET conference 2020. He contributed in organizing several IEEE conferences, workshop and special sessions in addition to European school of antenna course. He received several recognitions for his research, which includes appearance in BBC, STV, dawnnews, local and international newspaper, cover of MDPI journal, most downloaded articles, UK exceptional talent endorsement by Royal academy of Engineering, National talent pool award by Pakistan, International Young Scientist Award by NSFC China, URSI Young Scientist award, National interest waiver by USA, 4 best paper awards and best representative image of an outcome by QNRF.
