Dr Rola Saad

I have worked as a University Teacher in the Department since completing my PhD degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Sheffield in 2019. My EPSRC funded research project was focused on the design and modelling of miniaturised multiband electromagnetic periodic metamaterial structures for small antenna applications. 

Prior to my PhD, I obtained my MSc degree with distinction from the University of Glamorgan. My first degree was a BEng in Electrical Engineering, Communications and Electronics, which was awarded at a GPA of 89.3% from Beirut Arab University (BAU).

I am also an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and a member of the IEEE, IEEE Women in Engineering, and Women's Engineering Society. Outside of my teaching and research activities, I am active within equality, diversity and inclusion work in the department, and am lead coordinator for the department's annual Girls into Electronics event. I also represent the department on the University of Sheffield's race equality group.
