Prof. Ahmed S. Elwakil

Prof ahmed was born in Cairo, Egypt. He received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electronics and communications from Cairo University, Egypt, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and electronic engineering from the National University of Ireland, University College Dublin. He held visiting positions at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey; Queen’s University, Belfast, U.K.; the Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark; and the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia. He is currently a Full Professor with the University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates; also with the University of Calgary, AB, Canada; and also with the Nanoelectronics Integrated Systems Center (NISC) Research Center, Nile University, Cairo. His research interests include circuit theory, nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, and fractional-order circuits and systems with diverse applications ranging from the modeling of oscillatory networks and nonlinear behavior in electronic circuits and plasma physics to modeling of energy storage devices, bio-materials, and biological tissues.  He has been a member of the IEEE Technical Committee on Nonlinear Circuits and Systems, since 2000. He was a recipient of the Egyptian Government First Class Medal for achievements in engineering sciences, in 2015, and the UAE President Award (Khalifa Award), in 2020. He was an International Observer in the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) action on fractional-order system analysis synthesis and their importance for future design (CA15225) and an Expert with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). He was on the Editorial Board of the IEEE JOURNAL ON EMERGING AND SELECTED TOPICS IN CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS and an Associate Editor for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS—I: REGULAR PAPERS. He serves as the Editor-in-Chief for the International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications (Wiley) and an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Electronics and Telecommunications (AEUE, Elsevier).
