Prof. Osama Badarneh

Dean of King Abdullah I School of Graduate Studies & Scientific Research
Professor

Osamah S. Badarneh received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Quebec-ETS (Canada) in 2009. In September 2018, he joined the Electrical Engineering Department at the German Jordanian University (GJU), Jordan, where he is currently a full Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department. He also served as the ViceDean of the School of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology fromSeptember 2021 to January 2024. Before joining GJU, he was an AssociateProfessor at the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Tabuk from September 2012 to August 2018. Additionally, he worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Telecommunication Engineering at Yarmouk University, Jordan, from January 2010 to September 2012. He also served as an adjunct professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Quebec-ETS for three years, starting in November 2013. Currently, he is an Associate Editor for IEEE Communications Letters, a position he began in March 2024. He has extensive teaching experience at both undergraduate and graduate levels. During the 2024/2025 academic year, he is on sabbatical leave, serving as the Dean of the King Abdullah I School of Graduate Studies & Scientific Research at Princess Sumaya University for Technology. His research interests include wireless communications and networking.During his Ph.D., he focused on video multicast over wireless ad hoc networks. Subsequently, he worked on designing MAC and routing protocols for cognitive radio networks. His current research encompasses physical layer security, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer, and fading channel characterizations. Additionally, he is interested in the performance analysis of wireless MIMO systems, including space modulations (such as space shift keying (SSK), spatial modulation (SM),and spatial multiplexing), beamforming, cooperative communications, dual- and multi-hop transmission over wireless fading channels, and energy detection over fading channels. An active researcher, he has published extensively in refereed journals, conference proceedings, books, and book chapters, and serves as are viewer for several IEEE journals and conferences.His research interests include wireless communications and networking.
