Pakistani PhD student, Qurat-ul-Ain Nadeem, at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has won the prestigious Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar Award for her work in transmission technology.
Her research in Full-dimension (FD) massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) is far superior to the existing wireless communication systems and is capable of more than doubling the average throughput of the LTE systems.
Marconi Society was established in 1974 by Guglielmo Marconi’s daughter in a bid to promote advancement in telecommunications and the internet. The Young Scholars Award along with the Marconi Prize are presented to scholars with significant achievements.
Qurat has been working on her PhD at KAUST’s Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Science and Engineering division under the supervision of Professor Mohamed-Slim Alouini who says:
Qurrat’s work establishes a proper link between the industry’s vision for FD-MIMO and the theoretical study of 3-D beamforming. She published pioneer works on the development of 3-D channel models and spatial correlation functions. More recently, she put different aspects of FD-MIMO together to provide a mathematical framework for the design of elevation beamforming schemes in single-cell and multi-cell scenarios. Her works have gained a lot of visibility in a short time.

It utilizes an active antenna system with a planar array structure to provide adaptive electronic beam control in the 3D space. In contrast to much of the prior research that focuses on the standardization of FD-MIMO technology in the 3GPP, Nadeem’s papers are distinguished by their depth in the theoretical aspects of the antenna array and 3D channel modeling.
FD-MIMO uses a planar array structured active antenna which provides an adaptive electronic beam control in the three-dimensional space. Qurat’s 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.
She did her masters from KAUST as well after pursuing electrical engineering at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS). FD MIMO is one of the most significant technologies for 5th generation cellular systems.
I am a Pakistani woman pursuing a PhD in Saudi Arabia, which speaks about the country’s new focus on research and innovation. I think that this award will encourage more women in the region to enter the field of science and accomplish even greater things.
Qurat and three other young scholars will receive their award along with a prize money of $5000 in Bologna, Italy on October 2, 2018.

Congratulation : Now It’s time to Think About Marriage :!
wow what a sexist comment just to stay cool and relevant in PROPK comment . Growup brother
your coment is sexy
sexist
sexist
with you :P
I am not interested
baby, u married with 5g,,,
She is married with one kid. Even if she wasn’t, it was none of your business.
it’s time you think about getting off of the Internet and maybe living the rest of your life out in a cave so the world no longer needs to deal with your crap
Band zehan, khuli zuban hai is banday ki :)
WOW! Impressive! May Allah bless her with more success!
WOW! Impressive! May Allah bless her with more success!
Good job, and definitely we need more and more people like this. Very proud of her.
The name of University is KAUST.
Congratulations on the honor which yourselves and Pakistan is reckoned. Technology applications include the 5G to which trails are conducted worldwide including Pakistan. 5G trails has gone beyond scientific achievements in Australia where it is banned by the regulatory authority for indiscipline by a participating company circulated in the media recently. As Pakistani I would suggest not to compromise a lucrative offer with a controversial international group. Suggest to please to continue with your research work and more with ITU the UN body in Geneva and Pakistan regulatory authority being the most authentic organisation, member, of GSR, ETSI etc. With best wishes, blessings to your family and Pakistan.
impassive. but we need some1 to catch up and lead this talent. we are wasting. there should be big events to gather them and expose them to industries else create one.
