Dr Mosa Ali Abu-Rgheff, Head of Group

Dr Mosa Ali Abu-Rgheff graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Electronic & Electrical Engineering, and with final year option on Microwave Engineering from  University of Leeds in 1967, and then joined University of Bradford to do PhD on work on parametric amplifiers, operating in UHF band and employing transmission lines structures.

After graduation, he worked on RF electronic circuit design and university teaching abroad. He joined University of Bradford in September 1990 and University of Plymouth in September 1991 as senior lecturer. He authored numerous publications in journals and in international conference proceedings on digital communications, partial response signalling, spread spectrum techniques and mobility management. He also gives short courses and tutorials. His research interests include wireless communications, modulation/coding, and mobility management. He is leading the Mobile Communications Research (previously known as CDMA Research Group or Mobile Communication Networks Research Group).

Dr Abu-Rgheff is a Charted Engineer, Member of the IEE, Senior Member of the IEEE, and member of Technical/Advisory Committees of several international conferences (IEEE ICC'04, Globecom'04, 4GMF GMC'04, WWC'02 etc.). More details can be found in Activities.


 

Mr Fan Wu

Mr Fan Wu received his BSc Hons degree (First Class) in Computing Science from University of Ulster, UK in 2005. In Oct 2005, he joined the Mobile Communications Research in the School of Computing, Communications and Electronics, University of Plymouth, UK for his PhD work under the Faculty of Technology bursary and RONDO sponsorship.

Mr Wu's research is to simulate and evaluate the performance of cellular erasure-coded OFDM wireless communications in mobile environment. His research interests include wireless communication system in mobile environment, OFDM transmission technology, OFDM cellular system, digital signal processing, and user mobility on the network.


 

Mr Ghassan Abdalla

Mr Abdalla received his BSc (First Degree Hon) in electrical engineering from the University of Khartoum, Sudan in 2003 and MSc with distinction in digital communication systems from Loughborough University, UK in 2006. Since then he joined Mobile Communications Research in the School of Computing, Communications and Electronics, University of Plymouth, UK for PhD project in collaboration with France Telecom.

His research is in developing high data rate algorithms for physical and link layers of vehicular ad hoc networks.
