Farid Zubir (Member, IEEE) received a B.Eng. in electrical (majoring in telecommunication) and an M.Eng. in RF and microwave from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), in 2008 and 2010, respectively. He received a Ph.D. from the University of Birmingham, U.K. in 2016 for research on the direct integration of power amplifiers with antennas in microwave transmitters. He currently serves as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication Engineering, School of Electrical Engineering, UTM. In 2019, he secured a scholarship to work as an Honorary Postdoctoral Research Fellow for a period of two years at the University of British Columbia (UBCO), Okanagan, BC, Canada, where he conducted research on highly efficient and linear amplification power amplifier topology for wireless power systems. His research interests and specialization include the area of RF and microwave technologies, including linearization and high-efficiency techniques for PAs, planar array antenna, dielectric resonator antenna (DRA), and active integrated antenna (AIA).
