Suhaib Fahmy

Assistant Professor, School of Computer Engineering

I have been an Assistant Professor in the Division of Hardware and Embedded Systems within the School of Computer Engineering since December 2009. Previously, I graduated from Imperial College London in 2003 with a First Class Honours MEng in Information Systems Engineering. I then completed a PhD in Reconfigurable Computing, in 2007, in the Circuit and Systems Research Group of the Imperial EEE Department, under the supervision of Prof. Peter Cheung and Prof. Wayne Luk, with a thesis entitled “Hardware Acceleration of the Trace Transform for Vision Applications”. From 2007 to 2009, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at CTVR, Trinity College Dublin and Visiting Research Engineer at Xilinx Research Labs, Ireland, working on adaptive architectures for cognitive and software-defined radio.

I maintain a strong interest in the areas of architecture design, computer arithmetic, algorithm acceleration and reconfigurable computing, across a range of application domains.
