Curriculum Vitae
Mohammad M. Mansour received his B.E. degree with distinction in 1996 and his M.E. degree in 1998 both in computer and communications engineering from the American University of Beirut (AUB), Beirut, Lebanon. In August 2002, Mohammad received his M.S. degree in mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), Urbana, Illinois, USA. Mohammad received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering in May 2003 from UIUC.
He was a Visiting Researcher at Broadcom Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA, USA, from 2012 to 2014, where he worked on the physical layer SoC architecture and algorithm development for LTE-Advanced. He was on research leave with QUALCOMM Flarion Technologies in Bridgewater, NJ, USA, from 2006 to 2008, where he worked on modem design and implementation for 3GPP-LTE, 3GPP2-UMB, and peer-to-peer wireless networking physical layer SoC architecture and algorithm development. He was a Research Assistant at the Coordinated Science Laboratory (CSL), UIUC, from 1998 to 2003. He worked at National Semiconductor Corp., San Francisco, CA, with the Wireless Research group in 2000. He was a Research Assistant with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, AUB, in 1997, and a Teaching Assistant in 1996. He joined as a faculty member with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, AUB, in 2003, where he is currently a Professor. His research interests are in the area of energy-efficient and high-performance VLSI circuits, architectures, algorithms, and systems for computing, communications, and signal processing.
Prof. Mansour is a member of the Design and Implementation of Signal Processing Systems Technical Committee (DISPS) Technical Committee Advisory Board of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. He served as a member of the DISPS Technical Committee from 2006 to 2013. He served as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II(TCAS-II) from 2008 to 2013. He currently serves as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems since 2011, and an Associate Editor of the IEEE Signal Processing Letters since 2012. He served as the Technical Co-Chair of the IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Systems in 2011, and as a member of the Technical Program Committee of various international conferences and workshops. He was the recipient of the PHI Kappa PHI Honor Society Award twice in 2000 and 2001, and the recipient of the Hewlett Foundation Fellowship Award in 2006. He has seven issued U.S. patents.
