Abou-Khousa (AK) works on reconciling circuit and wave theories to optimize RF coils and MR detection subsystems. He received the B.S. EE degree (Magna Cum laude) from the American University of Sharjah, Sharjah, UAE in 2003, the M.S. EE degree from Concordia University, Montreal, QC, Canada in 2004, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology, MO, USA in 2009.

Since August 2009, He has been working as an RF research engineer with the CFMM group at Robarts. Over the past five years, AK worked on many interdisciplinary industry-sponsored projects involving cutting edge RF/microwave/millimeter wave imaging, ranging and subsurface sensing technologies. He played a major role in developing state-of-the-art microwave imaging systems (e.g., Camera) and handheld VNAs. AK current areas of interest include RF design, microwave/millimeter wave instrumentation, numerical electromagnetics, reconfigurable antennas, and statistical signal processing. He has to his credit many technical publications in addition to three patent applications. He is a senior member of IEEE, and frequently serves as a reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Microwave Theory and Techniques, Instrumentation and Measurement (recognized as Outstanding Reviewer for the years 2008 and 2009).
