Hello!

I am a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the American University of Beirut (AUB), Maroun Semaan Faculty of Engineering and Architecture (MSFEA). I was born in Lebanon, and studied electrical engineering at AUB (Bachelor of Engineering in 1987) and at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (Master of Science in Engineering in 1989 and PhD in 1993). I joined AUB as a faculty member in January 1993.
