Wasim received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Oxford, UK, in 2005. In his doctoral research, he designed high data-rate ultrawideband systems for indoor wireless communications. From 2005 to 2007, he was a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, where he was a member of the Communications Research Group led by Prof. David Edwards at the Deparment of Engineering Science. During this time, he also held a Research Fellowship in Science at Wolfson College, Oxford, where he chaired the Research Fellows Society (2006-07). He developed signal processing techniques for multi-gigabit wireless communications as part of his postdoctoral research at Oxford. From 2007-2010, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at MIT and Harvard Medical School, where his research with Prof. Emery Brown and Prof. Leigh Hochberg addressed various areas in computational neuroscience such as two-photon image analysis techniques and brain-machine interfacing algorithms.
He has published an edited book titled Ultra-Wideband Antennas and Propagation for Communications, Radar and Imaging (UK: Wiley, 2006). He was the Lead Guest Editor of the IET Microwaves Antennas and Propagation special issue on "Antenna systems and propagation for future wireless communications" (Dec. 2007). He is also an Editor of the International Journal of Ultra Wideband Communications and Systems. In addition to 4 patents, he has published in excess of 70 research papers in refereed journals and conferences. He routinely serves on the organizing and technical program committees of various international conferences. He also consults for the industry and government on a variety of areas in signal processing, communications and biomedical engineering. He received the Association for Computing Machinery Recognition of Service Award (2000), the Best Paper Award in the ARMMS RF & Microwave Conference (Steventon, UK, 2006), the ESU Lindemann Science Fellowship (2007), and the CIMIT Shore Career Development Award (2010).
