Biography
Husnain Ali Kayani was born in Jhelum, Pakistan, in 1989. He received his BE in electrical engineering from National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, Pakistan, in 2011. He received his MS in electrical engineering from Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), Belgium and Polytechnic University of Turin (PdT), Italy, in 2015. He had worked as “Core Network Engineer” in Mobilink Pakistan from 2011 to 2013. Mr. Kayani finished his PhD from UCL in electrical engineering, in 2020. He has worked on Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiators (ESPARs) for the base station antennas of 5G communication systems. His research work also included the development of RF front-ends and antennas for automotive RADARs. Currently, he is working as a postdoc researcher at UCL in the domain of mmwave antenna design.
He had won scholarship from NUST throughout his BE from 2007 to 2011. He was a recipient of Erasmus Mundus Scholarship from European Union for a double degree MS program from 2013 to 2015.
He likes to play tennis, football and badminton in his free time. He also likes travelling and adventure.
Research Interests
His research interests are antenna design, phased arrays, reconfigurable antennas, RF circuit design, RF front end design and RFIC design.
