Since March 2010, Dr. Hossain is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from University of Victoria, Canada, in 2000. He was a University of Victoria Fellow and also a recipient of the British Columbia Advanced Systems Institute (ASI) graduate student award. Professor Hossain is an author/editor of the books Smart Grid Communications and Networking (Cambridge University Press, 2012), Green Radio Communication Networks (Cambridge University Press, 2012), Cooperative Cellular Wireless Networks (Cambridge University Press, 2011), Dynamic Spectrum Access and Management in Cognitive Wireless Networks (Cambridge University Press, 2009), Heterogeneous Wireless Access Networks (Springer, 2008, ISBN: 978-0-387-09776-3), Cognitive Wireless Communication Networks (Springer, 2007, ISBN: 978-0-387-68830-5), Wireless Mesh Networks: Architectures and Protocols (Springer, 2007, ISBN: 978-0-387-68839-8), and Introduction to Network Simulator NS2 (Springer, 2007, ISBN: 978-0-387-71759-3). Currently Dr. Hossain serves as the Editor-in-Chief for the IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials, an Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, and IEEE Wireless Communications. Previously he served as the Area Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications (in the area of "Resource Management and Multiple Access"). He is a registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in the province of Manitoba, Canada.
