AMMAN — In recognition of his achievement
of
registering 17 patents, electrical engineer Ahmad Nabil Saleh was honored by
his alma mater earlier this month.

His university, Princess Sumaya
University for Technology (PSUT), held a ceremony to celebrate his work as part
of its Career Guidance and Alumni Office program under the college Deanship of
Admissions and Registration on June 6.
“Instead
of providing a quick solution, I tend to think outside of the box and try to
develop an innovative solution,” Saleh said in an email interview with Jordan News.
“It
was quite a surprise to me that PSUT was able to pull together this ceremony
within three days, when they knew I am visiting Jordan and about to leave back
to the US,” he added.
Saleh, who holds a master’s degree in electrical
and computing engineering from
Oakland University and currently works as a
senior technical specialist in the United States, graduated from PSUT with a
bachelor's degree in electronics engineering in 2008.
Thirteen years after his graduation, the
alumnus expressed his pleasure to revisit his university and be met and awarded
by his college professors and president. He also described how the campus has
“changed a lot, to the better” in terms of renovations and additional programs
and buildings.
Saleh patented his first innovation in
2015, and within five years he successfully recorded 17 inventions.
In general, all of his “patents either
resolve a technical issue or optimize a system, in an innovative manner,” Saleh
said.
“My inventions are in the field of wireless
technologies, for both telecommunication and automotive applications,” he
added. The engineer further explained that “the 17 patents cover a variety of
technologies, such as 4G, Bluetooth, ultra-wideband, etc.”
Saleh spoke of his plans for more patents
to come. His invention pace has slowed down a bit due to the increased
management work and leadership responsibilities required for his new position
at his fulltime job.
The Jordanian engineer pointed out that
his “patents contribute to end products’ development, (some) of which may end
up reaching Jordan,” he said, elaborating that “these products can be telecom
services or features in a vehicle.”
This is not Saleh’s first recognition; he
received nine excellence awards from his previous employer, Sprint, he told
Jordan News. “These awards are granted for employees who achieve extraordinary
results,” the engineer said.
Saleh also mentioned winning Oakland
University’s 10 Within 10 Young Alumni Award. “This award recognizes the
exceptional impact young alumni made within their professions and throughout
their communities,” he noted.
Patenting his solutions gives the engineer
“a great feeling of professional satisfaction.” Saleh also highlighted how
opting for an innovative “way of work allowed me to publish these patents,
enjoy my work, and receive acknowledgments from my leadership as well,” he
said.
