Dr. Alam has worked extensively in Millimeter Wave (mmWave) Circuit, RF device modeling, and Nano-electronics and published more than 65 research papers, including reputed International journals like Microwave Optical Letter, International Journal of Electronics, and Solid-state Electronics. He had been a visiting scientist to the Technical University Dresden (TUD), Germany from Nov 20 to Dec 19, 2014, under the Germany-India Bilateral Exchange Programme; the University of Ottawa, Canada from Oct 23-24, 2010; Nano-technology Centre, the QUB (UK) from Dec 2004 to Feb 2005 jointly Funded by the Royal Society of London (UK) and Govt. of India for encouraging collaborative research work between Excellent Young and Outstanding Scientists from the United Kingdom and India. Dr. Alam has completed a major research project (₹23, 814, 00) in 2010, funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India under the National Nano-Mission Scheme. He collaborated with the QUB (UK) and completed the project entitled, Design of Novel Nano-scale Devices for Low Power Application in 2014. He was an Indian PI for the collaborative project entitled, Performance Comparison of state-of-art CMOS and SiGe LNA for Multi-band Wireless, with German PI: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Schroeter, Chair for Electron Devices and Integrated Circuits, TUD, Germany, and completed the work in 2014, funded by DFG, Govt. of Germany, and INSA, Govt. of India. Dr. Alam has more than 26 years of teaching experience, delivered invited talks at International Fora, and collaborated with the Institute of Repute.  He has been to several countries, including the UK, USA, Canada, Denmark, France, Turkey, Malaysia, and Singapore, for academic interaction and collaborative research. He has signed NDA for technical support from IHP Germany (https://dk.ihp-microelectronics.com) to carry out RF/Sub-THz Circuit Design and Fabrication up to 300 GHz.  Dr. Alam has an interest in the teaching of courses like RF Circuits and Systems, Communication Electronics, Digital Electronics, Circuit Theory, Advanced Device Modeling, RF System Design, µWave Devices, and ICs, µWave & Antenna, µWave Engineering and Sensors and Transducers.  He was appointed as a Supdt. Of Exam @AMU, India, during 2018-2019 and successfully automated the examination process in the Institute. Apart from that, he served at various administrative positions @AMU, India, including the Coordinator of TEQIP project for improving the quality of Technical Education in the country, Govt. of India during 2010-2017 ​
