`Robert Akl, D.Sc.
`
`
`
`Professional Summary
`
`Dr. Akl has over 20 years of industry and academic experience. He is currently a Tenured
`Associate Professor at the University of North Texas and a Senior Member of IEEE. He has
`designed, implemented, and optimized both hardware and software aspects of several wireless
`communication systems for CDMA, WiFi, and sensor networks. Dr. Akl has broad expertise
`in wireless communication, Bluetooth, CDMA/WCDMA network optimization, GSM, LTE,
`VoIP, telephony, computer architecture, and computer networks. He is a very active
`researcher and is well published and cited. He has been awarded many research grants by
`leading companies in the industry and the National Science Foundation. He has developed and
`taught over 100 courses in his field. Dr. Akl has received several awards and commendation
`for his work, including the 2008 IEEE Professionalism Award and was the winner of the 2010
`Tech Titan of the Future Award.
`
`Dr. Akl has extensive experience with patents in the wireless and networking industry. In the
`past ten years, he has worked as a technical expert in dozens of patent related matters,
`involving thousands of hours of research, investigation, and study. He has repeatedly been
`qualified as an expert by Courts, and has provided numerous technology tutorials to Courts,
`and given testimony by deposition and at trial. He has worked with companies large and
`small, both for and against the validity and infringement of patents, and has also helped
`counsel and Courts to understand technology that often seems complex. In doing so, he has
`become familiar with, and actively worked with, the legal principles that underlie patentability
`and validity and claim interpretation in the wireless and networking industries.
