Jad G. Atallah is a faculty member at the Department of Electrical, Computer & Communication Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Notre Dame University - Louaize (NDU), Lebanon. He received the B.E. degree in Computer and Communications Engineering (With Distinction) from The American University of Beirut (AUB), Lebanon, in 2001. He also received the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2003 with specialization in System-on-Chip Design and the Ph.D. degree in Electronic and Computer Systems in 2008 within the RaMSiS group from The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden. His current research interests are in RF/analog/mixed-signal designs, especially frequency synthesizers, for multi-standard wireless communications and in solutions for vertical handover in future communication systems.
During his Ph.D. studies, Dr. Atallah was funded from the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsradet) and from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) under the RaMSiS project. He has designed and sent for fabrication eight integrated circuits including a design which was part of a multi-standard receiver and another consisting of a complete multi-standard frequency synthesizer. He has supervised the thesis work of six Masters students and has taught regular and specialized courses in the fields of advanced wireless communication radio design and low power analog and mixed-mode circuit and system design. He is also a technical reviewer for three international journals and transactions and five international conferences. Dr. Atallah is a member of the IEEE.
