Dr. Emad is a Postdoc Fellow at the Integrated Photonics Laboratory under the supervision of Prof. Yating Wan at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Before joining KAUST, Dr. Emad acquired his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering (Photonics major) at the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia, while simultaneously working as a full-time lecturer in The Electrical Engineering Department at Jubail Industrial College (JIC). 

Dr. Emad's Ph.D. thesis is titled: “InAs/InP Quantum Dash Laser in L-Band Wavelength Division Multiplexed Passive Optical Networks: Device and System Investigation,” where broadband quantum dash lasers were investigated on a device-level, then implemented in system-level applications. He displayed a great deal of enthusiasm and commitment as a researcher, which has been reflected in his research publications of 16 journal papers, 2 book chapters, and 25+ international conference papers, most of which he presented. In addition, Dr. Emad has managed all that while working as a full-time lecturer at Jubail Industrial College in a timely manner of 3.5 years.

Experience

Dr. Emad worked as a lecturer in the Electrical Engineering Department at Jubail Industrial College, Jubail Industrial City, between 2016 and 2022. He also was a research assistant at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudia Arabia, between 2014 and 2016.
