Biography
Dr. Qurrat-Ul-Ain Nadeem is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at New York University (NYU) Abu Dhabi, and an Associated Faculty at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. From 2019 to 2023, she worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada. She received her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia in 2015 and 2018 respectively. Her research interests lie in the areas of communication theory, signal processing, and electromagnetics and antenna theory.
Dr. Nadeem received the prestigious Paul Baron Young Scholar Award by The Marconi Society in 2018 for her work on full-dimension massive MIMO systems. She also received the NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship Award in 2021, with her application ranked first among those submitted by female candidates and third overall. She serves as an Editor of IEEE Communications Letters, and as a co-chair of the Radio Access Technology and Heterogeneous Networks track at IEEE VTC 2024-Spring. She also serves as the general chair of workshops at several flagship conferences of IEEE Communications Society including IEEE PIMRC 2023, IEEE ICC 2024 and IEEE WCNC 2024.
