Khalid A. Nabulsi was born in 1953 in Alqurayyat City in Saudi Arabia. He received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Riyadh (currently, King Saud University), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1976, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona in 1980 and 1984, respectively.
In 1984, he joined the department of electrical engineering at King Abdulaziz University (KAAU), Jeddah Saudi Arabia where he taught about ten different courses in the areas of communications (telephone, radar, radio, satellites, and television), electromagnetics, antennas, microwaves, electronic and communication circuits, computer programming, and electrical circuits. He taught the following courses in the under graduate level : EE101, EE301, EE302, EE413, EE423, EE424, and EE425. In addition, he taught the following courses in the graduate program: EE522, EE525, and EE526. Dr. Nabulsi is also a coauthor of the arabization of the book ``Modern Control Systems ," by Richard C. Dorf.
At the national level in Saudi Arabia, he joined three committees. The first one was dealing with planning satellite services for the Kingdom during the next fifteen years. The second committee was dealing with setting safety standards for exposure to electromagnetic radiation for the Kingdom. The third committee was dealing with the effects of electromagnetic radiation from the highly powered Riyadh radio station on the international King Fahad stadium.
In 1991, he became a Senior Member IEEE. During 1992-1991 he was a visiting Professor at the ECE Department, University of Arizona. Since 1992 he has been a member of the Saudi Swimming Federation at the national level and head of the western region. In 1993 he was promoted to Associate Professor of electrical engineering at KAAU. During the Summer Period of 1995 he was a Visiting Scholar to the ECE Department at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. He Joined the Editorial and Review Board for the Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications (JEWA) and the book series Progress in Electromagnetic Research (PIER) in late 1995. He was recognized and mentioned by Who's Who In The World in the fourteen'th edition in 1997. In 1998 he was promoted to ful professor. In 1999 presented an invited paper to the IEEE /URSI Meeting, Orlando Folrida, 11-17 July 1999 (USA). He was also recognized and mentioned again by Who's Who In Engineering and Science in The World in the Mellinum edition 2000/2001. Furthermore, he published over 32 papers in the most respected international journals covering the subjects in the electromagnetics and communications areas. From 1999 to 2003 he worked on special research concerning signals interference on behalf of the enterior ministry in cojunction with the Institute of the Custodian of the two Holy Mosques for Pilgrimage Rresearch. In addition, he offered two advanced short courses in communications engineering during the years 2004-2005, in which, alot of civilian engineers, many high ranking military and security officers have attended. Starting in september 2005, he worked as a full time consultant for the Saudi ministry of defense and Aviation untill september 2007. After that, he returned to his position in the Electrical and computer Engineering Department, college of Engineering, King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, and he is still there up till now.
Currently, he is working on writing four books in the area of electronics and communications and supervising two labs, the Communications lab and the Microwave lab and partly supervising the Electronics lab. Further he is advising about ten undergraduate students and supervising several students with BSc projects.
