Biography
Suhaib A. Fahmy is Associate Professor of Computer Science and Principal Investigator of the Accelerated Connected Computing Lab (ACCL) at KAUST. His research explores hardware acceleration of complex algorithms and the integration of these accelerators within wider computing infrastructure. Suhaib Fahmy graduated from Imperial College London in 2003 with a First Class Honours MEng in Information Systems Engineering, and in 2008 with a PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. From 2007 to 2009, he was Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin and Visiting Research Engineer at Xilinx Research Labs, Ireland, working on adaptive architectures for cognitive and software-defined radio systems. He was Assistant Professor in the School of Computer Engineering at Nanyang Technological University from 2009 to 2015, where he served as Deputy Director of the Centre for High Performance Embedded Systems (CHiPES), and Deputy Program Director for the MSc in Embedded Systems. His research there explored the use of reconfigurable systems in domains including communications, cyber-physical systems, and automotive networks. He was Associate Professor then Reader in Computer Engineering at the University of Warwick from 2015 to 2020, where he lead the Connected Systems Research Group and the Adaptive Reconfigurable Computing Lab in the School of Engineering as well as leading the Computer Systems Engineering degree programme. Since 2017, he has been a Turing Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute in London.
