👤About

Dr. Sajjad Ali Memon is an Associate Professor in the Department of Telecommunication Engineering at Mehran University of Engineering & Technology (MUET), Jamshoro. He joined the department as a Lecturer in February 2008, became Assistant Professor in December 2011 and Associate Professor in December 2018. Before joining MUET he worked as an Operation & Maintenance Engineer at Telenor Pakistan.

He earned his PhD in Communication and Information Systems from Dalian University of Technology, China (2013–2017). His dissertation addressed pilot contamination elimination and PAPR reduction in wireless communication systems. He holds an M.E. in Communication Systems and Networks (CGPA 3.87/4.00) and a B.E. in Telecommunication Engineering from MUET.

His research centres on wireless and cellular communication systems. His earlier work tackled PAPR in MC-CDMA and pilot contamination in massive MIMO; his current work applies machine learning to communications problems such as automated modulation recognition and spectrum analysis. He has taught subjects ranging from transmission and switching to wireless communications and optoelectronics.
