Dr Muhammad Arslan Usman

About

I am currently a Lecturer in Computer Science at Kingston University London, United Kingdom. I completed my PhD degree in the field of IT Convergence Engineering from Kumoh National Institute of Technology (KIT), South Korea, in Jan. 2018, and continued in the same research group as a postdoctoral research fellow for a period of 4 months. Later, I joined Wireless Multimedia and Networking (WMN) research group, at Kingston University London (KU) as a as a Postdoctoral research fellow. In April 2019, my role at KU changed to System Architect (KTP associate) and I worked for almost three years jointly with Pangea Connected UK and KU under the highly prestigious Knowledge Transfer Partnership Program from Innovate UK. The project I worked on was about delivering enriched video compression and data transfer techniques to take advantage of 4G+ and 5G networks. Key focus areas were emergency services with the objective to also deliver a family of products as the project developed further. 

I also obtained a B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering (Telecommunications) from COMSATS University, Lahore, Pakistan, in 2010 and M.S. Degree in Signal Processing from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola (BTH), Karlskrona, Sweden, in 2013. I also worked in the industry with Alcatel-Lucent (now NOKIA) Nigeria as a wireless pre-sales engineer from 2013–2014, in the department of Technical Sales.
