Overview

Dr. Ifana Mahbub joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering at UT Dallas as an Assistant Professor in the Fall 2022, where she is leading the Integrated Biomedical and Radio Frequency Circuits and Systems Laboratory (iBioRFCASL). Before that she was an assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering department at the University of North Texas for five years. Her research interests include energy-efficient integrated circuits and systems design for read-out, wireless communication, and wireless power transfer for various implantable and wearable sensors. Her recent research interests also include ultrawideband/mm-wave phased-array antenna design for far-field wireless power transfer and V2V communication for UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Dr. Mahbub is the recipient of the NSF “Early Career Award” (2020), the DARPA “Young Faculty Award” (2021), and various other grants from ONR and NSF. In recognition of her outstanding research achievements, Professor Mahbub received the Texas Instrument’s Early Career Chair Award in 2022. She is currently serving as the secretary for the URSI commission K, as a guest editor for the IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation and MDPI Sensors Journal, and as the publications chair for IEEE Texas Symposium on Wireless and Microwave Circuits and System and IEEE Dallas Circuits and System conferences.
