Mona EL-Abbasi

With expertise in Wireless Communications, RF Systems, and Electromagnetics, I strive to bridge academic research with real-world applications. I am dedicated to inspiring students, conducting impactful research, and contributing to the engineering field. With extensive teaching experience at the American University of Beirut (AUB), I was honored to win the highly competitive Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program, awarded by the US Embassy in Lebanon. This opportunity allowed me to teach and conduct research at the University of Houston, one of the top universities in the US.
