Dr Ansari, an alumnus of the Zakir Husain College of Engineering and Technology who graduated from AMU in 1984, was today felicitated at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Aligarh Muslim University for his outstanding contributions in the field of Mobile Communication and Wireless Technologies and for his translations of Urdu books into English.

Prof Beg said that in addition to his work in translations, Dr Ansari has contributed immensely in the field of Telecommunication in general, and Mobile Communication in particular. He took a PhD degree from Southern Illinois University in 1993, after completing B.Sc. Electrical from AMU in 1984 and MS Electrical Engineering from Southern Illinois University in 1987.

He said that Dr Ansari, after starting his career in 1984, has served in various senior positions including as the Principal Technology Advisor, PDV Wireless, Chief Technology Officer, Reverb Inc., Practice Lead, InCode Consulting, Director, Network Design, Mobile Satellite Ventures, Hybrid Terrestrial Satellite Mobile Communications System, Senior Manager, Nextel Communications, Principal Engineer, Lockheed Martin Global Telecommunications and Design/Senior/Principal Engineer, LCC International.

Earlier, welcoming the guests, Prof M.M. Sufiyan Beg, Principal, ZHCET said that dr Ansari’s translation of Anis Ashfaq’s novel Khwab Sarab (winner of 2022 Sahitya Akademi award in Urdu) and Kaali Maati of Ali Amjad have received acclaim from the academic world.

His other translations include “Transience of Life” Vol I and II by Ghaus Ansari; “What Days They Were” by Qazi Jalil Abbasi; “A Branch of the Sapling of Sorrow” by Ali Amjad; “The Khilafat Movement” by Qazi Mohammad Adeel Abbasi; and “The Complete Lectures of Sir Syed” Vol. I-III.
