Maged Elkashlan is a Professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering at Queen Mary University of London, UK. He specializes in wireless communications, with a focus on 5G/6G systems, massive MIMO, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). His research spans physical layer security, energy-efficient networks, and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). He has authored over 200 papers in top-tier journals and conferences and holds editorial roles in IEEE Transactions on Communications, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, and others. He has supervised numerous PhD students, including current scholars working on RIS and cell-free MIMO. His teaching includes courses on digital signal processing, communication theory, and wireless communications at Queen Mary, the University of Sydney, and the University of New South Wales. He has organized major symposiums at IEEE ICC and VTC, and his work has been recognized through best paper awards and industry collaborations.
