Biography

My interests are in applied Antenna and RF/EM Engineering. In research, I address electronic sustainability challenges through the combination of "RF-enabled" technologies and materials. I am also passionate about RF engineering education and research communication, for attracting more students to bridge the skills gap in the RF industry

Mahmoud received his EEE BEng (First Class Hons.) in September 2018, and his award-winning PhD in Rectenna Design (submitted in 26 months) in April 2021, from the University of Southampton.

Dr. Wagih joined the University of Glasgow in June 2022 as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor eq.), leading research on Green/Sustainable RF-enabled electronics, where he holds a UK Intelligence Community (IC) Research Fellowship from the Royal Academy of Engineering. He is a member of the Centre for Advanced Electronics (CAE) Management Team and a theme co-lead for Antennas & Wireless RF Systems.

He has been PI/Co-I on research projects over £1.1M/£4M, published over 100 journal and conference papers, and has delivered 20+ invited talks. He is keen on public engagement and outreach, with several award-winning presentations.

Prior, 2017-2021, he was an undergraduate and postgraduate Research Assistant, at the University of Southampton (UK and Malaysia), and an EU H2020 EnABLES-funded PhD student from 2018 to 2020. He was a Hardware Verification Engineering Intern, in 2018, and a Research Intern on Secondment, in 2020, at Arm Ltd., UK. He was a post-doctoral research fellow, in 2021, and promoted to senior research fellow in the same year, at the University of Southampton.
