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 (1st 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 UofG June 2022 as an RAEng UK IC Research Fellow and Lecturer, leading research on Green RF-enabled electronics, and is now a Reader. He Co-Directs the UKRI Responsible Electronics and Circular Technologies (REACT) Centre, and a member of the Centre for Advanced Electronics (CAE) Management Group. Externally, he is an IEEE Distinguished Microwave Lecturer, and holds several roles as journal editor, member/chair on IEEE committees, and with national academies/funders (RAEng, UKRI).

He is the Founder and CEO of RX WaTT Ltd, a spin-out dedicated to Joint Wireless Power and Data Transfer and RF Sensing. He has been PI/Co-I on over £17M of research projects and published 130+ papers and 3 patents. Active in public engagement, advocacy, and outreach, with several award-winning presentations.
