As one of the world’s leading experts in the areas of applied computational electromagnetic antennas and propagation, wireless communication systems, adaptive and statistical signal processing, and global positioning systems, Dr. Hussain Al-Rizzo could focus solely on his research and have a vibrant career.
However, the associate professor in systems engineering serves as an active mentor to both graduate and undergraduate researchers, guiding them to success in their own projects. Dr. Al-Rizzo ensures their work is as productive as his has been for more than two decades. He has earned several patents, written over 30 peer-reviewed publications, and made countless presentations for international meetings and conferences.
Dr. Al-Rizzo earned a Bachelor of Science degree in electronics and communications and a postgraduate diploma from the University of Mosul in Iraq. In addition, he received a master’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Mosul and a doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Dr. Al-Rizzo is a member of the International Council for Systems Engineering and the Materials Research Society.
