Profile

Khurram Waheed is an NXP fellow and leads system

architecture activities for the connectivity portfolio. Besides

design, he is a leading contributor to NXP’s long-term

innovation initiatives for wireless radios, mentoring university

research and leads wireless patent portfolio management. Dr.

Waheed received his B.Sc.(Hons.) in Electrical Engineering

from University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore,

Pakistan (1994) and both his M.S. (2000) and Ph.D. (2003) in

Electrical Engineering from Michigan State University. From

1994 to 1999, he worked on various defense and industrial

research and development projects. During 2003-04, he was a

faculty at San Diego State University. From 2004 to 2010, he

lead 2G/3G/4G cellular radio design system architecture

teams at Texas Instruments Inc., Dallas (2004-09) and Bitwave

Semiconductors, MA (2009-10). Since 2010, he has been with

Freescale/NXP. Dr. Waheed has published 70+ technical

papers and holds 50+ granted patents. He has also contributed

to several standardization activities including 3GPP, IEEE

(802.11, 802.15 and P1901.2), Wi-SUN and BT-SIG. Dr.

Waheed’s research interests include novel radio architectures

and circuits, PHY/modem architectures, wireless localization

technologies, adaptive and blind machine learning, non-linear

control & signal processing algorithms, and their

implementations. He is a member of IEEE Circuits and

Systems and Communication Societies, serves on IEEE

VSATC and CASCOM Technical committees and is an active
