ISLAMABAD
\nA Pakistani PhD student has won distinction for improving LTE and 5 G Wireless Systems and would receive award along with a prize money of US $ 5000 in Bologna, Italy on October 2.
\nQurat-ul-Ain Nadeem, studying at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), has won prestigious Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar Award for her work in transmission technology.
\nHer research in Full-Dimension (FD) massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) is far superior to existing wireless communication systems and is capable of more than doubling average throughput of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems.
\nMarconi Society was established in 1974 by Guglielmo Marconi\u2019\u2019s daughter in a bid to promote advancement in telecommunications and the internet.
\nThe Young Scholars Award along with Marconi prize are presented to scholars with significant achievements.
\nQurat has been working on her PhD at KAUST\u2019\u2019s Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Science and Engineering division under supervision of Professor Mohamed-Slim Alouini.
\nAccording to him, Qurat\u2019s work establishes a proper link between the industry\u2019\u2019s vision for FD-MIMO and the theoretical study of 3-D beam forming.
\nQurat\u2019s research focus has been on 3D channel modeling and theoretical aspects of the antenna array in depth as compared to the previous researches which worked on standardization of FD-MIMO technology in the 3GPP.
\nShe did her masters from KAUST as well after pursuing electrical engineering at Lahore University of ManagementSciences (LUMS).
\nFD MIMO is one of the most significant technologies for 5th Generation cellular systems.
\n\u201cI think this award will encourage more women in region to enter field of science and accomplish even greater things,\u201d Qurat said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
