Dr. Nasreen Badruddin

Nasreen Badruddin graduated with a first class honours B.Eng. degree in Electronic Engineering from RMIT University, Australia, in 2000. She later received an M.Sc. in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University, USA in 2002, and a Ph.D. in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from the University of Melbourne, Australia, in 2011. Her Masters thesis was on the potential capacity benefits of utilising fixed relay stations between base stations and mobile users in a CDMA cellular network, while her Ph.D. thesis focused on finding optimal power allocation and scheduling schemes which would maximise the overall throughput in interference networks. Her research interests are primarily in the area of wireless communications and networks as well as biomedical engineering, particularly in neuro-signal processing and wireless body area networks (WBAN).Nasreen was a recipient of a PETRONAS overseas scholarship for her undergraduate studies and an Endeavour Postgraduate Award from the Australian government for her Ph.D. studies. She is currently an Associate Professor and Deputy Head of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. She is attached to the Biomedical Technology research group as well as the Centre of Intelligent Signal and Imaging Research (CISIR).
