Abdelgader Mahmoud Abdalla received his PhD in Telecommunications Engineering from MAP‐Tele Doctoral Programme, Universidades de Minho, Aveiro, Porto (MAP‐Tele), Portugal in October 2014. From 2010 to 2014, during his PhD study, he was involved in several national and international projects that included EURO‐FOS Network, TOMAR‐PON, BONE, NGPON2, and PANORAMA II. In December 2014, he joined Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT), Aveiro as a Senior Researcher. Recently, he finished the European research project ENIAC‐THING2DO successfully, whilst acting as work package leader of Design Enablement that involved 17 partners. Currently, he is acting as a task leader of Design Methodology and Automation in European research OCEAN12 project, ECSEL‐JU‐Call 2017 within H2020. His main research interests include low‐power nanoscale integrated circuit design, systems‐on‐a‐chip design for optical and wireless communications, DSP‐enhanced high‐simulation runtime mixed‐signal integrated circuit design, FPGA/ASIC design of high‐simulation runtime digital and optical communication devices, as well as nonlinear modeling for nanotechnologies. He is the author of several journals and conference publications. He is an active IEEE member, acting as TPC member and reviewer for a number of respected conferences, journals, and magazines.
Jonathan Rodriguez received his MSc and PhD degrees in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Surrey, United Kingdom in 1998 and 2004, respectively. In 2005, he became a researcher at the Instituto de Telecomunicações, Aveiro (Portugal), and a member of the Wireless Communications Scientific Area. In 2008, he became a Senior Researcher and was granted an independent researcher role where he established the Mobile Systems Research Group with key interests in 5G networking, radio‐optical convergence, and security. He has served as project coordinator for major international research projects, including Celtic Eureka LOOP and GREEN‐T, and FP7 C2POWER, whilst serving as technical manager for FP7 COGEU and FP7 SALUS. He is currently leading the H2020‐ETN SECRET project, a European Training Network on 5G communications. In 2008, he became an Invited Assistant Professor at the University of Aveiro (Portugal), attaining Associate status in 2015. He has also served as General Chair for the ACM sponsored MOBIMEDIA 2010 (6th International Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference), Co‐Chair for the EAI sponsored WICON 2014 (8th International Wireless Internet Conference), and TPC co‐chair for BroadNets 2018, as well as serving as workshop chair on 17 occasions in major international conferences that include IEEE Globecom and IEEE ICC, among others. He is the author of more than 450 scientific works, that include over 100 peer‐reviewed international journals and 11 edited books. His professional affiliations include Senior Member of the IEEE, Chartered Engineer (CEng) and Fellow of the IET (2015). In 2017, he became Professor of Mobile Communications at the University of South Wales (UK).
Issa Elfergani received his MSc and PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Bradford (UK) in 2008 and 2012, respectively, with a specialization in tunable antenna design for mobile handset and UWB applications. He is now a Senior Researcher at the Instituto de Telecomunicações, Aveiro (Portugal), working with several national and international research funded projects, while serving as technical manager for ENIAC ARTEMIS (2011–2014), EUREKA BENEFIC (2014–2017), CORTIF (2014–2017), GREEN‐T (2011–2014), VALUE (2016–2016) and H2020‐SECRET Innovative Training Network (2017–2020). In 2014 Issa received a prestigious FCT fellowship for his post‐doctoral research. He is an IEEE and American Association for Science and Technology (AASCIT) member. Since his PhD graduation, he has successfully completed the supervision of several Master and PhD students. He is the author of around 93 high‐impact publications in academic journals and international conferences; in addition, he is the author of two books and nine book chapters. He has been a reviewer for several good ranked journals such as IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IET Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Access, Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies, Radio Engineering Journal, IET‐SMT, and IET Journal of Engineering. He was the chair of both the 4th and 5th International Workshops on Energy Efficient and Reconfigurable Transceivers (EERT). He has been on the technical program committee of a large number of IEEE conferences. Issa has several years of experience in 3G/4G and 5G radio frequency systems research with particular expertise on several and different antenna structures along with novel approaches in accomplishing size reduction, low cost, improved bandwidth, gain and efficiency. His expertise includes research in various antenna designs such as MIMO, UWB, balanced and unbalanced mobile phone antennas, RF tunable filter technologies and power amplifier designs.
Antonio Luís Teixeira got his PhD from University of Aveiro, Portugal, in 1999, partly developed at the University of Rochester. He holds an EC in Management and Leadership from MIT Sloan School and a post‐graduation qualification in Quality Management in the field of Higher Education. He has been a professor at the University of Aveiro since 1999, as an Associate Professor with Agregação. He worked from 2009 to 2013 in Nokia Siemens Networks and in Coriant (2013–2014) as a standardization expert in the field of optical access (in FSAN, ITU‐T, IEEE 802.3). Since 2014, he has been the Dean of the University of Aveiro Doctoral School aggregating 50 PhD programs and 1300 students. He has published more than 400 papers (more than 130 in journals), has edited a book, and contributed to several others. He holds 11 patents, and tutored successfully more than 70 MScs and 14 PhDs, having participated in more than 35 projects (national, European and international). In 2014 he co‐founded PICadvanced, a startup focused on providing solutions based on optical assemblies targeting biotech and optical networking (including access networks). He served the ECOC TPC from 2008 to 2015 in the SC for subsystems, having chaired it in 2010, 2011 and 2015. He served the access subcommittee in OFC from 2011 to 2014, and was the General Chair of ICTON 09, Networks 2014. He is a Senior Member of OSA and a member of IEEE and the IEEE standards association.
