- Dr Obada Al Khatib
Dr Al Khatib is an Assistant Professor at the University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD) and has a keen interest in Telecommunication Engineering. He obtained his PhD from the University of Sydney, Australia specialising in “Modelling and Performance analysis of wireless communication systems for smart grid communications”.
Dr Al Khatib is very passionate about teaching and feels that mentorship and interaction with students in the course of teaching are some of the aspects that make an academic position so rewarding. His teaching philosophy is concerned with fostering: (1) students’ inquisitiveness and passion for learning, (2) life-long learning, (3) association with the real world, (4) organised study, (5) confidence building, and (6) student and lecturer accountability.
Prior to joining UOWD, Dr Al Khatib held the position of Research Associate in Wireless Engineering at the Centre of Excellence in Telecommunications at the University of Sydney, Australia. Previously he was Tutor and Lab demonstrator at the University of Sydney and taught courses on Radio Frequency Engineering and Wireless Engineering. He was also an Electrical Engineer for the Consolidated Contractors International Company in Qatar.
