Doctoral Defense on THz Antenna Design in the Electrical Engineering Department

On Thursday, March 16, 2017, Mr. Hussein Ali Abd Al-Nabi defended his dissertation titled “Design and Characterization of THz Antenna Using Graphene-Based Artificial Magnetic Conductor” at Dijlah Hall for the Doctor of Philosophy degree.

The committee comprised:

1. Prof. Dr. Jabir Salman Aziz – Chair
2. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thamer Rasheed Said – Member
3. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hadi Tarish Zabon – Member
4. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Odhaid Hassan Salomi – Member
5. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jamal Mohammed Rasool – Member
6. Prof. Dr. Raad Sami Fayyadh – Supervisor
7. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rifat Talib Hussein – Supervisor

The study utilized graphene as an artificial magnetic conductor to design THz antennas with enhanced reflection coefficients, gain, and efficiency across the 1-10 THz spectrum. Simulations were conducted using CST Studio Suite, resulting in notable advancements in antenna performance.

Mr. Abd Al-Nabi was awarded a Doctorate in Electrical Engineering with a grade of Very Good.
