University of Jordan News - In order to achieve the vision and goals of the University of Jordan to link academia with industry and prepare its students for the labor market, the School of Engineering at the University of Jordan, in cooperation with the Society of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), hosted interactive public lectures that addressed the topics of antenna systems and their manufacturing, and the manufacturing of materials for quantum computers. High resolution.
These events were attended by the Dean of the School of Engineering, members of the School, and a distinguished group of students.
In the first lecture, which was entitled “The Dawn of Multi-Functional and Multi-Standard Common Aperture Antenna Systems," Professor at the University of Washington in the United States of America, Dr. Mohamed Shaarawy from Blue Origin, a leading company in the aerospace industry, began his lecture by emphasizing that wireless communications networks They have become an essential part of our daily lives, and are connected to everything from home appliances to cars, requiring multiple antenna systems to cover these communications.
Shaarawy explained that the current trend in research focuses on using shared slots to host multi-standard antenna systems, to save space and costs.
Shaarawy also discussed the principles and methods of designing common-aperture antenna systems, focusing on the concept of “antenna within the antenna," noting that it is a promising topic with wide applications in wireless systems in the future.
Shaarawy reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of these systems from practical and performance aspects, presenting examples and modern technologies such as coated dielectric resonator antennas and connected antenna arrays.
The lecture received great interest from students, researchers, and School members, and Shaarawi expressed his readiness for research cooperation with the University of Jordan, and expressed his admiration for the level of students in the Department of Electrical Engineering.
For his part, the Dean of the School of Engineering, Dr. Menwer Attarakih, confirmed that the School seeks to attract distinguished researchers from all over the world to enhance academic cooperation with the University of Jordan.
It is worth noting that Shaarawy, who has nearly 20 years of experience in the academic field, currently works as a chief engineer at Blue Origin, a leader in the aerospace industries and suborbital spaceflight services, and an affiliated professor at the University of Washington in the United States of America, and has previously worked At Montreal Polytechnic University in Canada and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia, he holds 28 patents from the US Patent Office and more than 400 research papers and three published books in the field of antennas and their design.
