After five years in the telecommunication industry, Associate Professor Ir. Dr. Rosdiadee Nordin realised that he wanted to contribute more to society as a wireless researcher through academia. That bold career move has allowed him to pioneer several innovative solutions to provide Internet access to rural populations, providing platform for them to improve their socioeconomics, while reducing the digital divide in developing regions. His transdisciplinary research approaches have shown that he aspires to connect everything wirelessly, from human to smart 'objects'. The findings have provided paths towards an energy-efficient wireless communication network , which is crucial to empower future connected society.

Rosdiadee Nordin is a wireless researcher, practicing professional engineer and science popularizer. He aims to connect everything wirelessly; from human to various smart objects by taking into consideration the future implementation of the next-generation wireless technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Fifth Generation (5G) network. He received his doctorate from the University of Bristol, United Kingdom in 2010 and since then, with the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia as an associate professor. Before the academic career, he gained five years of engineering experience in the telecommunication industry. He is currently a Vice-Chair of Young Scientists Network (YSN) - Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) and the former Chair of Science Communication Working Group, under YSN-ASM. Rosdiadee dedicates his passion for popularizing science since 2009. He is an advisor and editor of Majalah Sains, an online portal, which aims to increase the Malaysia literacy on a science topic. In recognition of this initiative, he and the Majalah Sains team won the prestigious award by Malaysia’s Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) in 2018.
Version 2018
Rosdiadee Nordin is currently an Associate Professor of Electrical, Electronic & Systems Engineering at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Earlier, he graduated with a B.Eng. in Electrical. Electronic & Systems Engineering from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (2001) and then became an engineer in Malaysia’s telecommunication industry for almost five years. He later pursued his Ph.D. on wireless engineering at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom (2010) under the supervision of Professor Joe McGeehan, who is considered as ‘The Godfather’ of mobile communications in the United Kingdom. He aims to connect everything wirelessly; from human to remote objects you can imagine. He has research experience in other international research institutes, such as University of Bristol (United Kingdom), International Centre for Theoretical Physics (Italy) and Wireless Research Centre at the University of Canterbury (New Zealand). He is a professional engineer by practice, Senior Member of IEEE, Chair of Science Communication Working Group, under the Young Scientists Network (YSN) - Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) and finally, the advisor & editor of Majalah Sains, an online popular science magazine that aims to increase Malaysians literacy on science topic.
Version 2017
Rosdiadee Nordin is a researcher in the area of wireless telecommunications. He aims to solve the fundamental problems and balance his research activities by taking into consideration the practical implementation of the wireless networks. He has recently completed the Newton Fund on the research related to Massive-MIMO for 5G network at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom, his alma mater. He also has research experience in other international research institutes, such as ICTP, Italy in 2014 and Wireless Research Centre at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand in 2013. He is currently an Associate Professor of Electrical, Electronic & Systems Engineering at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Before this, he has years working experience in telecommunication industry. He is a registered professional engineer, Senior Member of IEEE, member of Young Scientists Network (YSN), under the Academy of Science Malaysia (ASM) and finally an adviser and editor of Majalah Sains, which he hopes can increase the Malaysia literacy on a science topic.

Rosdiadee Nordin received his Bachelor Degree in Electrical, Electronics and System Engineering from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 2001. After almost completing his five (5) years working experience with a telecommunication company (telco), Maxis Communications, he decided to pursue for Ph.D. degree in Wireless Engineering at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom and finally completed his study in December, 2010.Since then, he has been with the Department of Electrical, Electronics and System Engineering as a lecturer and currently active applying for research grants and recruiting postgraduate students to establish himself in the academia. His research experience involved Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) scheme, Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), dynamic subcarrier allocation, spatial correlation/ self-interference and LTE precoding. Other than that, his research interest includes green radio, intercell interference, cooperative diversity and wireless localization
