Research Associate

COMSATS University Abbottabad Campus • Full-time

Aug 2017 - Mar 2020 • 2 yrs 7 mos

Research Associate at COMSATS University Islamabad, Abbottabad Campus, working on the funded project “Design and Development of Conformal Beamforming Array for Aerial Platforms.” Responsible for antenna design, full-wave EM simulation, fabrication, and experimental validation of conformal phased antenna arrays. Led installation, calibration, and commissioning of the Anechoic Chamber, including RF absorber placement, measurement setup, and system verification. Designed cylindrical and wedge-shaped conformal arrays using CST Microwave Studio and Ansys HFSS, and performed S-parameter, radiation pattern, and gain measurements. Contributed to beamforming optimization, radiation pattern correction, and development of reconfigurable antenna structures for advanced wireless applications
