Dr. Arslan conducts research in wireless systems, with
emphasis on the physical and medium access layers of
communications. His current research interests are on 5G
and beyond radio access technologies, physical layer se-
curity, interference management (avoidance, awareness,
and cancellation), cognitive radio, multi-carrier wireless
technologies (beyond OFDM), dynamic spectrum access,
coexistence issues, non-terrestial communications (High
Altitude Platforms), joint radar (sensing) and commu-
nication designs. Dr. Arslan has been collaborating
extensively with key national and international industrial
partners and his research has generated signi icant
interest in companies such as InterDigital, Anritsu, NTT
DoCoMo, Raytheon, Honeywell, Keysight technologies.
Collaborations and feedback from industry partners has
signi icantly in luenced his research. In addition to his
research activities, Dr. Arslan has also contributed to
wireless communication education. He has integrated
the outcomes of his research into education which lead
him to develop a number of courses at the University of
South Florida. He has developed a unique “Wireless Sys-
tems Laboratory” course (funded by the National Science
Foundation and Keysight technologies) where he was
able to teach not only the theory but also the practical
aspects of wireless communication system with the most
contemporary test and measurement equipment.

Dr. Arslan has served as general chair, technical pro-
gram committee chair, session and symposium organizer,
workshop chair, and technical program committee mem-
ber in several IEEE conferences. He is currently a member
of the editorial board for the IEEE Surveys and Tutorials
and the Sensors Journal. He has also served as a member
of the editorial board for the IEEE Transactions on Com-
munications, the IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Com-
munications and Networking (TCCN), and several other
scholarly journals by Elsevier, Hindawi, and Wiley Pub-
lishing.
