Biography
Dr. Hussain M. Al-Rizzo received his B.Sc. in Electronics and Communications (1979) (High Honors), Postgraduate Diploma in Electronics and Communications (1981) (High Honors) and M.Sc. in Microwave Communication Systems (1983) from the University of Mosul, Mosul, Iraq. From May 1983 to October 1987 he was working with the Electromagnetic Wave Propagation Department, Space and Astronomy Research Center, Scientific Research Council, Baghdad, Iraq. On December, 1987, he joined the Radiating Systems Research Laboratory, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, NB, Canada where he obtained his Ph.D. (1992) in Electromagnetic, Wireless Communications, and the Global Positioning System. For his various academic achievements he won the nomination by the University of New Brunswick as the best doctoral graduate in science and engineering. Since 2000, he joined the Systems Engineering Department, University Arkansas at Little Rock where he is currently a tenured Associate Professor. He has published over 23 peer-reviewed journal papers and 39 conference presentations. His research areas include implantable antennas and wireless systems, smart antennas, WLAN deployment and load balancing, electromagnetic wave scattering by complex objects, design, modeling and testing of high-power microwave applicators, design and analysis of microstrip antennas for mobile radio systems, precipitation effects on terrestrial and satellite frequency re-use communication systems, field operation of NAVSTAR GPS receivers, data processing, and accuracy assessment, effects of the ionosphere, troposphere and multipath on code and carrier-beat phase GPS observations and the development of novel hybrid Cartesian/cylindrical FD-TD models for passive microwave components.
