BIOGRAPHY

Fourat received his Bachelor degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering/ Communication Engineering from the University of Technology, Iraq, in 2004. He has finished his MSc with Distinction at Brunel University, UK, 2009.  From 2004 to 2005, he worked as a Cisco Filed engineer in Arrawasi company (a Cisco‘s partners in Iraq). From 2005 to 2007, he worked as a senior network engineer in Asiacell company, a mobile operator in Iraq. In 2009 He has joined a European project (Pre-drive project) in Surrey University to develop a HLA-based simulation integration. He has also been working as a technical engineer in Hutchison 3G (a mobile operator in the UK).  He received the IEEE ICCT'11 Best Paper Awards in 2011. Since December 2010, he has been a PhD student at Heriot-Watt University and University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK, under the supervision of Prof. Cheng-Xiang Wang, Heriot-Watt University and Prof. Harald Haas, University of Edinburgh.
