Ayman Fayed received his B.Sc. degree in Electronics & Communications Engineering
from Cairo University in 1998, and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical &
Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in 2000 and 2004 respectively.
From 2000 to 2009, he held several technical positions at Texas Instruments Inc., where
he was a key contributor to many product lines for wire-line, wireless, and multi-media
devices. From 2000 to 2005, he was with the Connectivity Solutions Dept. at TI, where
he led the design of the frontend of high-speed wire-line transceivers such as USB 2.0,
IEEE1394b, and HDMI in several nanometer CMOS technology nodes. He also led the
design of fully integrated power management solutions for portable media players
including different classes of switching/linear regulators and battery chargers. From 2005
to 2009, he was a member of the technical staff with the wireless analog technology
center at TI, where he led several projects in 65nm and 45nm CMOS technologies
including baseband sigma-delta data converters for GSM/WCDMA/WIMAX standards, and fully integrated power
management solutions for mixed-signal SoCs with mutli-RF cores. Since 2009, Dr. Fayed has been an assistant
professor at the Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, where he is the
founder and director of the Power Management Research Lab (PMRL). His research interests include embedded
power management/conversion for RF/mixed-signal SoCs and multi-core processors, energy harvesting for powerrestricted
and remotely-deployed devices, high-speed wire-line transceivers, and data converters. Dr. Fayed has
many publications and patents in the field and has authored a book in the area of adaptive systems titled ^�daptive
Techniques for Mixed Signal System On Chip^�(Springer 2006). He is a senior member of IEEE and serves in the
technical program committee of many IEEE international conferences such as RFIC, ISCAS, and MWSCAS.
Dr. Fayed is a recipient of 2013 NSF CAREER Award.
