Biography
Prof. Amine Bermak received his master's and PhD degrees in electrical and electronic engineering from Paul Sabatier University, France in 1994 and 1998, respectively. He has held various positions in academia and industry in France, the UK, Australia and Hong Kong. Currently, he is a professor in the Information and Computing Technology Division of Hamad Bin Khalifa University.
For his excellence and outstanding contribution to teaching, he was nominated for the 2013 Hong Kong UGC best teacher award (for all HK Universities). He is the recipient of the 2011 University Michael G. Gale Medal for distinguished teaching. He is also a two-time recipient of the “Engineering Teaching Excellence Award" in HKUST for 2004 and 2009, respectively.
Dr. Bermak has received six distinguished awards, including the “Best University Design Contest Award” at ASP-DAC 2016; “Best paper award” at IEEE ISCAS 2010; the 2004 “IEEE Chester Sall Award”; and the “Best Paper Award” at the 2005 International Workshop on SOC for Real-Time Applications. He has published over 250 articles, designed over 40 chips and graduated 14 Ph.D. and 16 MPhil students. He has served on many editorial boards and is currently the editor of IEEE Transactions on BioCAS and the IEEE TED. Dr. Bermak is a Fellow of IEEE and an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer.
