BIOGRAPHY

 

Ammar Ghazal received his Bachelor degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from Damascus University, Syria in 2006 and MSc by Research from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK in 2010. In the 1st half of 2007, he worked as a Lab Instructor in International University for Science & Technology (IUST), Syria. From May 2007 to October 2009, he worked first as a Radio planning and optimization Engineer (1 year) and then as a Core Network Engineer (1.5 years) for Syriatel (Mobile Operator in Syria). From September 2008 to October 2009, he worked also as a Lab Instructor at Damascus University. Since January 2011 he has been a PhD student at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK, under the supervision of Prof. Cheng-Xiang Wang, Heriot-Watt University, Prof. Harald Hass, University of Edinburgh and Dr. Mohamed Khaled Chahine, Damascus University.
