Rate My Professor Muhammad Ramlee Kamarudin

Professor Muhammad Ramlee Kamarudin serves as Professor of Antenna Engineering in the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM), where he also holds the position of Director of the International Office since August 2022. He obtained his BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Telecommunication Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in 2003, MSc in Communication Engineering from the University of Birmingham, UK, in 2004, and PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Birmingham in 2007 under the supervision of Emeritus Professor Peter Hall. His career trajectory includes roles as tutor and lecturer at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia's Wireless Communication Centre, Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Electronic Warfare, Information and Cyber at Cranfield University, UK, and Associate Professor at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia prior to his current appointment at UTHM.

Kamarudin's research focuses on antenna design for 5G/6G applications, MIMO antennas, array antennas for beam-forming and beam steering, wireless on-body communications, in-body communications including implantable antennas, RF and microwave communication systems, and antenna diversity. He has authored over 300 technical papers in leading journals such as IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine, IEEE Access, International Journal of Antennas and Propagation, Progress in Electromagnetic Research, and Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, as well as a book chapter in Antennas and Propagation for Body-Centric Wireless Communications. Key publications include Antennas and propagation for on-body communication systems (2007), Compact and low-profile textile EBG-based antenna for wearable medical applications (2017), and A review of wideband reflectarray antennas for 5G communication systems (2017). His scholarly impact is evidenced by a Web of Science h-index of 28 with over 2,600 citations and Scopus h-index of 36 with more than 5,000 citations. Awards include recognition as one of the Top Research Scientists Malaysia by the Academy of Sciences Malaysia in 2020 and IEEE Senior Membership since 2013. He serves as Associate Editor for Electronics Letters, IET Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation, and International Journal of Antennas and Propagation, and is Executive Member of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Malaysia Chapter, with memberships in multiple IEEE societies and IET.
