prolific author and entrepreneur in the field of chip design and test,
spent over 25 years in academia and industry in the US and Europe . He
obtained his BS and MS from Cairo University, Egypt and His PhD from
the University of Manitoba in 1983, all in electrical engineering. He
is the Founder of the Ohio State University's (OSU) Analog VLSI Lab,
one of the foremost research entities in the field of analog, mixed
signal and RF integrated circuits. He also served on the Faculty of
OSU's ElectroScience Lab. He held a Research Chair at the Swedish Royal
Institute of Technology (KTH) where he founded the RaMSiS (Radio and
Mixed Signal Integrated Systems) Research Group there. He had visiting
appointments in Finland (Aalto university), Norway (NTH and University
of Oslo), the Netherlands (Twente University) and Japan (Tokyo
Institute of Technology).
He Joined KUSTAR, the UAE in 2011, where
he holds the ATIC Professor Chair and is Head of the ECE Department
which exists on both KUSTAR's campuses in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. He was
the Director of the Sharjah Campus. He is also serving as Director of
the Khalifa Semiconductor Research Center (KSRC) and Co-Director of the
ATIC-SRC Center of Excellence on Energy Efficient Electronic systems
(ACE4S) targeting self-powered chip sets for wireless sensing and
monitoring, bio chips and power management solutions. His current
research focuses on "self- healing" design techniques for CMOS RF and
mm-wave ICs in deep nanometer nodes.
Dr.Ismail served as a Corporate
Consultant to over 30 companies and is a Co-Founder of Micrys Inc.,
Columbus, Ohio, Spirea AB, Stockholm, Firstpass Technologies Inc.,
Dublin, Ohio and ANACAD-Egypt (now part of Mentor Graphics). He advised
the work of over 50 Ph.D. students and of over 100 M.S. students. He
authored or co-authored over 20 books and over 150 journal publications
and has 8 US patents issued and several pending. He is the Founding
Editor of the Springer Journal of Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal
Processing and serves as the Journal's Editor-in-Chief. He served the
IEEE in many editorial and administrative capacities. He is the Founder
of the IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and
Systems (ICECS), the flagship Region 8 Conference of the IEEE Circuits
and Systems Society and a Co-Founder of the IEEE International
Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED). He received the US
Presidential Young Investigator Award, the Ohio State Lumley Research
Award four times, in 1992, 1997, 2002 and 2007 and the US Semiconductor
Research Corporation's Inventor Recognition Award twice. He is a Fellow

Ann Arbor, MI. (1984-2003). He also served as the Director of the
Radiation Laboratory from 1998 to 2000. Over the years, Dr. Volakis has
carried out research in antennas, wireless communications and
propagation, computational methods, electromagnetic compatibility and
interference, design optimization, RF materials, multiphysics
engineering, millimeter waves, terahertz systems, and medical sensing.
He has authored eight books, over 350 journal papers, nearly 650
conference papers, and 23 book chapters. He has been listed by ISI as
one among the top 250 most referenced authors (2004). He has served as
the President of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (2004), the
Vice Chair of USNC/URSI Commission B, the General Chair of the IEEE
Antennas and Propagation Symposium twice, the IEEE AP-S Distinguished
Lecturer, the IEEE APS Fellows Committee Chair, and IEEE-wide Fellows
Committee Member. He has received the University of Michigan College of
Engineering Research Excellence Award (1993), the Scott Award from The
Ohio State University College of Engineering for Outstanding Academic
Achievement (2011), the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society C-T. Tai
Teaching Excellence Award (2011) and most recently, the Distinguished
Achievement Award (2014) from the IEEE Antennas & Propagation
Society, one of the top career awards given to an individual once a
year by IEEE. |  | Jason Jones, Distinguished Member Technical Staff, Lead System Architect, Automotive Processors Organization, Texas Instruments Inc.
