Biography:

Mohammad Abu Khater received his B.Sc in Electrical Engineering from the University of Jordan in 2004, and his M.S in electrical and computer engineering from Purdue University in 2009.

In 2004 he joined ALBAHITH (Younivate), a Qualcomm 3G licensee, as a hardware electronics engineer. There, he developed several hardware platforms including CDMA2000 modems (1900MHz PCS band), High-Speed USB computer interfacing boards, and SLIC circuits for fixed wireless terminals. He joined Intel Labs in summer 2011 where he worked on power delivery systems in the circuit research lab.

Mohammad was awarded the fulbright scholarship in 2007 to pursue his graduate studies. Currently he is a PhD student at Purdue University. He is working under the supervision of Prof. Dimitrious Peroulis. His research interests include RF-MEMS tunable filters control, low-power supplies, sensor interfacing, RF-MEMS reliability and performance testing, and high-performance PCB layout techniques. He is also a recipient of Magoon award for excellence in teaching in 2012.
