Biography
Prof. Amine Bermak is a Distinguished Professor and Associate Dean of the College of Science and Engineering. He received his Master's and PhD degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Microelectronics and Microsystems) from Paul Sabatier University, Toulouse, France, in 1994 and 1998, respectively.
His research can be best described as being at the crossroads between algorithmic solutions and hardware-friendly VLSI architecture for sensors, microsystems, and Artificial Intelligence applications. He has published 539 papers (230 journals, 8 book chapters, 286 conference papers, and 15 patents), mostly in top-tier venues. Prof. Bermak has delivered 26 invited keynotes and won 7 best paper awards.
He is the recipient of the Best Researcher Award at CSE in 2019, the Best Innovator Award at HBKU in 2022, the Service Excellence Award at HBKU in 2023, and the Research Excellence Award at HBKU in 2024. He is the General Chair of IEEE DELTA 2008, IEEE BioCAS 2009, and ICM 2024. He has also served on multiple editorial boards of IEEE journals. Prof. Bermak is a Fellow of IEEE and an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer. He has been the Chair of the HBKU University Senate since 2024.
