Dr. Muhieddin Amer
About
Dr. Muhieddin Amer is professor of Electrical Engineering and chair of the Electrical Engineering and Computing Sciences department at RIT Dubai. Dr. Amer received his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1999. Under his leadership at RIT Dubai, the Electrical Engineering and Computing Sciences department has witnessed a steady increase in student enrollment and an expansion to the number of programs, minors, and focus areas and the incorporation of the AI curriculum in electrical engineering and computing sciences.
Student retention rates are steadily improving as well as the research contributions by faculty and students. All programs have secured the accreditation of the ministry as well as ABET for engineering.
Dr. Amer has over 15 years of industry experience in wireless communications. While with Nortel Networks in Dallas, Texas, he assumed several leadership positions in the Wireless Engineering Division and made significant contributions towards the development of 2G, 3G and 4G cellular products and solutions that have influenced the company’s technology and product evolution path in addition to changes to 3GPP LTE specifications.
Dr. Amer has championed dozens of research projects in wireless network engineering, holds three patents in wireless product development, and has published extensively in IEEE conferences and wireless engineering forums. He’s the principal applicant of the digital transformation research lab that secured a grant of $1m from TDRA/ICTFund. D. Amer is a member of the RIT Electrical and Computer Engineering PhD curriculum committee. He’s supervised 2 PhD students and over 30 master’s students. Dr. Amer is a senior IEEE member since 2003.
