As a Ph.D student Dr. Belal did experimental work in the University of Malaya (UM) from August 2010 to December 2012 with Professor Dr. Harith Ahmed (Field Supervisor) and Professor Dr. Sulaiman Harun.
He also worked as a research assistant from July 2009 until February 2013 doing his Ph.D period for Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS) under the title "Modeling Development and Characterization of Dual Function Wide-band EDFA". Furthermore, during his studies, he proposed a new amplifier to enhance wide-band Erbium doped fiber amplifier using high concentration active medium, and he has published many papers on this proposal.
Currently, he is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE).
